* SATWND data in prepbufr until 20100701 (after in bufr format file)
* SATWND data in prepbufr until 20100701 (after in bufr format file)
* GMS WV satwinds (KX=250) in prepbufr files are passive (missing obs. error).  This is necessary because GMS WV satwinds in prepbufr format do not have information needed to distinguish between cloud-top and deep layer WV winds, and we are not able to turn on only cloud-top winds as we do for the winds from the satwind dump bufr format file.

** in sweeper b5122_m2swp_jan10 run Meta found that few of the aircraft data had missing staion ID: "in our current configuration we can not do anything different for these winds, because they have been misidentified as other aircraft types (kx=130/230 AIREP/PIREP and kx=131/231 AMDAR)"

*Atlantic anomaly in 79-80 -the same issue in MERRA ([http://merra-reanalysis.blogspot.com/2008/10/known-issue-1-east-atlantic-anomaly.html]) ????
** counts in fixed data seems lower then in operational run, probably due to different processing (NCEP ops & in house fix for reanalysis input TAMDAR data)
* Atlantic anomaly in 79-80 -the same issue in MERRA ([http://merra-reanalysis.blogspot.com/2008/10/known-issue-1-east-atlantic-anomaly.html]) ???? Steve Bloom identified anomalies associated with two stations - 99012 (~ weather ship Lima) in Atlantic off Portugal, and 99018 (~ weather ship Quebec) in the Pacific.
* Fix for blacklisted observations from Singapore station (ID 48698), ADUPA files were processed using code delivered by Meta for original MERRA input (~/Applications/NCEP_Paqc/modify_bufr);formerly blacklisted data were from 7/22/1998 - 02/23/2000 ([https://progress.nccs.nasa.gov/trac/esma/ticket/72])
* The prepbufr files received from NCEP after 12/29/2020 00z had already been processed through their PREVENTS step and thus had the temperatures for surface marine and surface land observations converted to virtual temperature.  The MERRA2 preprocessing carried out the VIRTMP conversion a second time.  A program to scan the input file to determine if the VIRTMP processing had already been done was added to the preprocessing QC, and the MERRA2 run was wound back to 1 June 2021. Note that between 12/29/2020 and 5/31/2021 the screening program would need to be disabled and virtual temperature calculated a second time if one wished to reproduce the MERRA2 results.  Or, just use the already processed prepbufr file from after the prepQC archived from MERRA2 as input instead of redoing the preprocessing.

** operational AVHRR no longer in time-windowed files after 20150520 00z (ops time-windowing software updated to take out EUMETSAT WV winds to reduce data count)

***                    - off chn all sndr-g12
***                    - off chn all sndrD1/D2/D3/D4-g13  (?)
** 03Aug2013 Todling  -  add GOES-15 as active
**  10Sep2013 Sienkiewicz -  some updates for GOES sounder
***                5x5 prepbufr ends 12/4/2007 12z. (Overlaps 1x1 data)
***                turn off sndrdX in early Dec 2007, problem with SAID (see Keyser's Satellite_Historical_Documentation.htm)
***                NCEP dump of 1x1 starts ~2/22/07 00z.  g11 mislabeled as g10 until 2007/03/20 18z ; satID values OK in 5x5 data though - so do not use 1x1 prior to 2007/03/20 18z!
***                GOES-10 to GOES-11 transition: 5x5 prepbufr has all 3 types (10,11,12) at 20060621.t18z with g10 before and g11 afterward.
***                GOES-8 to GOES-12 transition:  5x5 prepbufr has all 3 types (8,10,12) at 20030401.t18z with g08 before and g12 afterward.
***                Note: GOES-13 replaces GOES-12 as operational 4/14/2010 18z
***                Note: GOES-15 replaces GOES-11 as operational 12/6/2011 15z
***                    Need to check when these data start in the 'goesfv' dumps & when/if we want to turn these on in the database.
** 29Oct2013 Todling/(per Sienkiewicz) - turn GOES-13 back on from 20090101 on.
** 20Nov2015 GOES-13 Sounder anomaly - end of GOES-13 Sounder data
**  3Mar2020 GOES-15 Sounder data ends in operational stream.  No sounder on GOES-R (GOES-16, GOES-17 satellites)
