…428) ### Description Adds end-to-end support for ARO (airborne GNSS-RO) observations processing and assimilation with MPAS-JEDI. This includes integrating the gnssaro download and conversion pipeline into `GetObs.csh` and `ObsToIODA.csh`, with observation format (`netcdf` or `bufr`) and source (`nrt` or `postProc`) configurable through new observations.yaml options (`AROFormat`, `AROSource`, `AROPostProcRelease`, and `AROVersion`). The PR also adds support for the `gnssaro_bufr2ioda.py` converter, introduces a `gnssarobndropp2d` YAML stubs for da and hofx configuration, adds new workflow scenarios for ARO processing and assimilation, and renames GladeRDAOnline to GDEXOnline throughout the workflow. **Note:** AROFormat: bufr is currently incompatible with AROSource: postProc because AGS post-processed bfrPrf files use a BUFR encoding that eccodes cannot decode. This unsupported configuration is detected during configuration with a clear error message, preventing failures later during batch execution. ### Issue closed None ### Tests completed #### Tier 1: - [x] 3dvar_OIE120km_WarmStart - [x] 3denvar_OIE120km_IAU_WarmStart - [x] 3dvar_OIE120km_ColdStart - [x] 3dvar_O30kmIE60km_ColdStart - [x] 3denvar_O30kmIE60km_WarmStart - [x] eda_OIE120km_WarmStart - [x] getkf_OIE120km_WarmStart - [x] ForecastFromGFSAnalysesMPT - [x] 4denvar_OIE120km_WarmStart - [x] 4dhybrid_OIE120km_WarmStart #### Tier 2: - [x] GenerateObsARO - [x] 3dhybrid_O30kmIE60km_SpecifiedEnsemble_VarBC_aro.yaml
