Description
Is this intended: https://github.com/NCAR/DART/blob/f7205cb8bb947d2eb3580e5e81e77e5720430868/observations/obs_converters/NCEP/prep_bufr/src/prepbufr.f#L118
A more common value for conversion is 273.15 so I just wanted to double check this.

Research direction
Start at observations/obs_converters/NCEP/prep_bufr/src/prepbufr.f#L118 and inspect the Celsius/Kelvin conversion in context. Compare the constant with the units expected by the prepBUFR converter and determine whether the current value is intentional; done means the conversion is confirmed or corrected and the issue is resolved.
