Estimation of observation error standard deviations for T and Q profiles

(through global values, maps, scatterplots, histograms, etc):

* Distinguish PolarDay/PolarNight

* Distinguish Land/SeaIce/Sea/etc

* Assess the correlation of OMB with obs errors estimated by NASA for T and Q

Deliverables: what observation errors do we specify for T&Q profiles in WRF-Var assimilation experiments? Is it scientifically sound to use NASA estimated values?
