The AtovsObsBuilder class in radiance_atovs_obs_builder.py should override the create_obs_file and create_obs_group methods with the appropriate input arguments (include the two seperate bufr files as seperate inputs instead of just one input).
ex (my recomendations):
def create_obs_file(self, input_nmfd, input_rars, output, type='netcdf', append=False)
input_dict = {NMFD: input_nmfd,
RARS: input_rars}
comm = bufr.mpi.Comm("world")
self.log.comm = comm
# Create observation container
container = self.make_obs(comm, input_dict )
# Same as Bufr-Query Obs-Builder
...
def create_obs_group(self, input_nmfd, input_rars, env):
input_dict = {NMFD: input_nmfd,
RARS: input_rars}
# Same as ObsBuilder but you can ignore all the category and caching stuff (can be much simpler).
...NOTE: Basically copy the versions in the ObsBuilder base class and then modify as necessary. The create_obs_group function can be much simpler if categories are not used for these data types (no splits defined in YAML file).
The main function (and ioda) will automatically reflect this change in those arguments so you can specify them directly on the command line or the IODA configuration files.
Please, Please get rid of the wonky workaround where you are giving it a JSON file... This kinda defeats the point.
