707	Updated def_mod.F	arango	arango	"* The routine '''def_mod.F''', which creates output NetCDF file '''MODNAME''' used in data assimilation or verification to write model values at observations locations and other data assimilation variables, was upgraded to check if the input observations have the global attributes '''state_variables''' and '''obs_provenance'''. Some users are not adding these important metadata information to input observation NetCDF.

 * Added new subroutine '''netcdf_get_satt''' to module '''mod_netcdf.F'''. It is used to read global or variable NetCDF string attribute(s).

 * Updated routine read_asspar.F to provide more information when the '''VERIFICATION''' option is activated.
