New Use Case: Satellite verification of sea surface salinity: SMAP vs RTOFS output #1216

Replace italics below with details for this issue.

Describe the New Feature

This new use case will duplicate the efforts of Todd Spindler's VLab-Redmine code, specifically its calculations for satellite verification of sea surface salinity using SMAP as obs, RTOFS output as model forecasts, WOA as climatology to calculate anomaly and OSTIA ice for masking. It still needs to be determined if the graphical output currently produced and displayed at the site listed below need to be produced in this use case. As a final step, these new data sources will be logged in the METplus Verification Datasets Guide.

This is part of the larger Marine layer Verification package integration, which is tracked in #800.
