GREEN -- this type is USED by GBL-GSI

BLUE -- this type is MONITORED by GBL-GSI

RED -- this type is neither monitored nor used by GBL-GSI

GRAY -- this type is never available in GBL (GDAS/GFS) PREPBUFR file

\* - aircraft TOB is always sensible; BEFORE: aircraft QOB must have a
q.m. (QQM) \> 3 in order for GBL-GSI to calculate virtual temperature
from TOB and guess moisture; if QQM \< 4 GBL-GSI would incorrectly
assume TOB was already virtual -- ops GBL-GSI now has a generalized fix
so that ANY obs type whose temperature has a "VIRTMP" event is assumed
to have a TOB that is virtual and ANY obs type without a "VIRTMP" event
in its temperature is assumed to have a TOB that is sensible and must be
converted to virtual. Thus, any aircraft type (130, 131, 133, 134, 135)
TOB is always now identified as sensible regardless of its QQM and will
be converted to virtual by the GBL-GSI.

\*\* - IN GBLEVENTS, surface QQM is set to 9 if ps obs error is missing
(regardless if q obs error is missing or non-missing), thus it is
monitored by GBL-GSI regardless of whether or not convinfo is set to use
or monitor

\*\*\* - IN GBLEVENTS, surface TQM is first set to 9 if ps obs error is
missing (regardless if t obs error is missing or non-missing), and it is
then reset to 9 when virtual t is calculated because QQM is set to 9
(see \*\* above), thus it is monitored by GBL-GSI regardless of whether
or not convinfo is set to use or monitor

\*\*\*\* - OIQCBUFR is multi-variate and will use all obs with QM \< 4
in its decision-making process. Thus, any obs which are set to be
monitored by the convinfo file but are not given a QM \> 3 in the
PREPBUFR file will incorrectly end up influencing OIQCBUFR. For this
reason, the obs error must remain missing for all obs set to be
monitored by the convinfo file so that their QM is 9. This will be the
case until GBLEVENTS is modified to read in the convinfo file and flag
all monitored and not-used obs (or until OIQCBUFR is removed from the
GBL processing).

\$ - SSM/I rain rate is assimilated (used) by GBL-GSI directly from the
SPSSMI dump file (based on the settings in the global_pcpinfo.txt file.

\% - Switched off (to not process) in PREPDATA parm cards (this
supersedes any switches to otherwise flag with QM 15)
