Description

WIGOS provides a new id framework to help data providers worldwide to manage meteorological and related environmental observations, which is constructed using the following four mnemonics in BUFR:

| WIGOSID | WGOSIDS WGOSISID WGOSISNM WGOSLID |

| WIGOSID | 301150 | WIGOS IDENTIFIER | | WGOSIDS | 001125 | WIGOS IDENTIFIER SERIES | | WGOSISID | 001126 | WIGOS ISSUER OF IDENTIFIER | | WGOSISNM | 001127 | WIGOS ISSUE NUMBER | | WGOSLID | 001128 | WIGOS LOCAL IDENTIFIER (CHARACTER) |

The purpose of this issue is to create a single WIOGS ID variable like dateTime and add this functionality to the BUFR2IODA codes in ioda-converters repository.

The newly created variable will look like this: WGOSIDS-WGOSISID-WGOSISNM-WGOSLID, e.g. 0-20000-0-71941
