Description

The ObsProc upgraded from version 1.1 to version 1.2, in which the high-resolution radiosonde observations are included.
The radiosonde data from ObsProcv1.2 stored in GSI diagnostic files, in some cases, have multiple observations in the same location/time, and these observations often contain bad data (e.g., temperature > 500K or temperature < 50K).
These duplicate observations and bad data caused WDQMS processing to fail. This PR improves the handling of these obscure cases.

Example of duplicate data with bad values for temperature:

Type of change

• Bug fix (fixes something broken)

Change characteristics

• Is this a breaking change (a change in existing functionality)? NO
• Does this change require a documentation update? NO; Changes are documented in the code.

How has this been tested?

Using stand-alone WDQMS processing with input from current operational diagnostic files (from ObsProcv1.2)
Cycled tested:
2022050800Z - 2024052206Z using diagnostics files from NCO parallele run for ObsProc1.2 upgrade
2024052212Z -2024052818Z using diagnostic files from Operational GFS (with ObsProc1.2)

All three required output files (TEMP, MARINE, and SYNOP) were generated for each cycle with valid header and content.
