! subprogram:    read_amsre                  read bufr format amsre data
! prgmmr :   okamoto         org: np20                date: 2004-10-12
!
! abstract:  This routine reads BUFR format AQUA radiance (brightness
!            temperature) files.  Optionally, the data are thinned to 
!            a specified resolution using simple quality control checks.
!
!            When running the gsi in regional mode, the code only
!            retains those observations that fall within the regional
!            domain
!
! Special Notes:
!     10/14/04  okamoto  looks like AMSRE overlap problem is not as bad as SSM/I

!     PROCEDURE:
!
!  1. Calculate the subsolar point latitude and longitude, based on
!     DAY and TIME. Since each year is 365.25 days long the exact
!     value of the declination angle changes from year to year.  For
!     precise values consult THE AMERICAN EPHEMERIS AND NAUTICAL
!     ALMANAC published yearly by the U.S. govt. printing office.  The
!     subsolar coordinates used in this code were provided by a
!     program written by Jeff Dozier.
!
!  2. Given the subsolar latitude and longitude, spherical geometry is
!     used to find the solar zenith, azimuth and flux multiplier.
!
!  eqt = equation of time (minutes)  ! solar longitude correction = -15*eqt
!  dec = declination angle (degrees) = solar latitude
!
! LOWTRAN v7 data (25 points)
!     The LOWTRAN solar position data is characterized by only 25 points.
!     This should predict the subsolar angles within one degree.  For
!     increased accuracy add more data points.
