Aircrft data prepbufr mnemonics used in GSI

[dmerkova]

Description

Need to identify data in prepbufr that are used in GSI code. list mnemonics used for all types of aircraft data (obs types 131-135) read_prepbufr.f90 is the reading procedure for prepbufr data Mnemonics used for aircraft data (observation types 131-134:

  data hdstr  /'SID XOB YOB DHR TYP ELV SAID T29'
  data hdstr2 /'TYP SAID T29 SID'/
  data obstr  /'POB QOB TOB ZOB UOB VOB PWO MXGS HOVI CAT PRSS TDO PMO' /
  data drift  /'XDR YDR HRDR                    '/

  data qcstr  /'PQM QQM TQM ZQM WQM NUL PWQ PMQ'/
  data oestr  /'POE QOE TOE NUL WOE NUL PWE     '/
! data satqcstr  /'RFFL QIFY QIFN EEQF'/
  data satqcstr  /'QIFN'/
  data prvstr /'PRVSTG'/
  data sprvstr /'SPRVSTG'/
  data levstr  /'POB'/ 
  data aircraftstr /'POAF IALR'/    ! phase of aircraft flight and vertical velocity
  data maxtmintstr  /'MXTM MITM'/
  data owavestr  /'HOWV'/

These are mnemonics used generally for all observation, but POAF (Phase of flight) and IALR (vertical velocity) is needit for qc (resp bias correction)

SID contains aircraft tail number unique for each aircraft. It is used maily for prep-processing when checking QC but to go on it will be more used forward.

@dmerkova can this be closed, think the mnemonics have been identified and other issues have been introduced to carry on with the work
