subroutine da_read_pseudo_rad (iv)

   !---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   !  Purpose: read in NCEP bufr tovs 1b data to innovation structure
   !
   !   METHOD: use F90 sequential data structure to avoid reading file twice  
   !            so that da_scan_bufrtovs is not necessary any more.
   !            1. read file radiance data in sequential data structure
   !            2. do gross QC check
   !            3. assign sequential data structure to innovation structure
   !               and deallocate sequential data structure
