We changed the master project to once again run the random observation operator in python 3, using the gridded statevector and the ObsPack GlobalViewplus2 on capegrim. Next to do is to make this project also run without the specific parts but instead with baseclasses, and to program something that allows different templates on different machines.

rename *PlatForm to *Platform

renamed class names Ct- to CO2-
changed class name Observation to Observations 
small cleanup changes to template.py

changed the function calls in order to remove need of sth.DaCycle = DaCycle in start_job. achieved by adding DaCycle to particular function calls and initializing tm5 with DaCycle as call parameter

added the get_covariance generic function to the sv baseclass

performed actions discussed in email #2
removed unused __str__ functions
a bit of ordering of the pipeline.py

got rid of the getid and getversion functions (replaced with direct references to identifiers when used)
did a cleanup to dagridded/statevector

made cleanup in tm5_obsoperator
changed functions names - part 1
removed empty Validate function in obs, as well as its call
removed empty Initialize function in dasystem, as well as its call in pipeline (it's still called in some main functions)

changed some of the initialization logic. Now, the DaCycle object has become internal to the obsoperator, sample, and statevector objects

third option, the pyCDF interface for reading and writing. Note that it does not read HDF filessvn move da/ct/io.py da/tools/io_cdf.py!
