Research direction

Read lines 6-10 of observations/forward_operators/obs_def_reanalysis_bufr_mod.f90, then compare the behavior with observations/obs_converters/NCEP/prep_bufr/prep_bufr.html. Document the BUFR unit conversion in the prep_bufr page. Done means the relevant conversion is clearly described in the documentation.
