obs_seq header synonyms #1

Closed hkershaw-brown closed 3 days ago

hkershaw-brown commented 4 months ago

The 'observation' line in the obs_seq header can have several (any? user defined) values

e.g

synonymous_copy_list = 'NCEP BUFR observation', 'AIRS observation', 'observation'
synonymous_copy_list = 'GTSPP observation', 'SST observation', 'observation'

The init is expecting an 'observation' column to be present when calculating bias, sq_err

there are a bunch of synonyms, WOD observation

I think this will have to be user supplied (in addition to a list of possible dart ones).
