These are the historical convinfo files that should be used with retrospective 
FV3 Beta runs.  Dates refer to the first cycle for which the file should be used.

global_convinfo.txt is the base satinfo file, i.e., the one that should be 
implemented. Differences in this file relative to current operations are:
SST bouy type 198 switched off (solves the Florida Strait issue)
Turn on MetOp-B ASCAT
Monitor KOMPSAT-5 GPSRO
Himawari-9 AMVs are active (although H-9 is not dumped normally)
