Description
Use case
running the AIRS converter outputs a summary of obs for each input file. there are 240 input files/day. a more useful output is to print a summary of the final obs_seq file just before exiting.
Is your feature request related to a problem?
if there is too much output it obscures actual useful messages
Describe your preferred solution
the airs_fix branch has 2 updated observations/obs_converter/AIRS files where the summary output is moved from the per-file routine to the main routine.

Research direction
Start by comparing the two updated AIRS files in the airs_fix branch under observations/obs_converter. Trace where per-file summary output is produced and where the main routine exits. Done means the converter prints one summary for the final obs_seq file before exiting, without obscuring useful messages.
