wmo-bufr - Githubissues

Long-running branch to develop code for submitting near real-time observations to DMI and WMO.

This was based off original code contained in csv2bufr.py but has been significantly changed.

The goal was to have all configuration accessible in args.py and wmo_config.py (e.g. for changing file paths, common variables, stations to skip, and all BUFR settings). Otherwise, docstrings and comments throughout the code should suffice to orient a new developer to the code. wmo_config.py takes the approach of using dictionaries as config objects (rather than a csv file, etc). I find this to be more readable and easier to edit.

In addition to the work on generating WMO BUFR files, this PR includes the following:

Bug fix to preserve negative longitude values through to the level 3 product
New msg_lat and msg_lon strings that are picked up from emails and carried through the code. These are currently also written to aws-l3/level_3 files in addition to tx files, so we may want to remove those columns from level_3?

We will also be merging three other branches that were merged into the wmo-bufr branch: dev-pho, modify-time-shift and l3-file-names.

It would be good to add some basic information to the pypromice README regarding csv2bufr.py. And perhaps a more detailed entry to https://geus-glaciology-and-climate.github.io/ to explain background, general methodology and how to run the code would be good?
