RFC 12604 - Upgrade to OBSPROC v1.2.0

On WCOSS2, implement the OBSPROC v1.2.0 upgrade along with downstream models' updates. This upgrade will:

• Expand the global observation datasets (gfs and gdas) with high vertical resolution radiosonde profiles, and high spatial and temporal resolution satellite winds tailored for hurricane events.
• Expand the rap observation dataset with high vertical resolution radiosonde profiles. It will also increase the volume of mesonet observations across all regional networks and expand the capacity of SDMEDIT list entries per observation type.
• Several internal BUFR-lib related arrays were increased to accommodate increasing obs data volumes.
• A number of obs data sets were added to NOMADS (see SCN).
• Turn off the obsproc_air_now job since the EPA AirNow data was stopped.

What's Changed

• Updates for obsproc/v1.2 in operations by @KateFriedman-NOAA in #2616

Setup steps

1. Quick clone and build instructions

git clone -b gfs.v16.3.15 https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/global-workflow.git
cd global-workflow/sorc
sh checkout.sh
sh build_all.sh
sh link_fv3gfs.sh emc wcoss2

Follow additional build and link instructions here: https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/global-workflow/wiki/Clone-and-build-global-workflow/08b2ec4d0956ea1936d567d9a1ac32614aedfec1

2. Run experiment setup scripts

See the following global-workflow wiki page: https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/global-workflow/wiki/Run-setup-scripts-to-generate-experiment/c85d5c2f87b298b6f0536a2fc2fb425a092c70fc

Note: the above wiki links are to older revisions of the global-workflow GitHub wiki (before updates were made for GFSv17/develop). Use wcoss2 for the machine where needed (e.g. link_fv3gfs.sh script) and ignore references to now unsupported machines (e.g. WCOSS-Dell and WCOSS-Cray).
