486	Azimuth not copied by FM	Ian Culverwell	Ian Culverwell	"Axel von Engeln (EUMETSAT) points out that the azimuths in '''EPS-SG_SummerTestOrbit_GNSS_3profs.bg.nc''' (attached):
{{{
ncks -H -vazimuth EPS-SG_SummerTestOrbit_GNSS_3profs.bg.nc                                  
dim_unlim[0] azimuth[0]=53.772 
dim_unlim[1] azimuth[1]=0.275 
dim_unlim[2] azimuth[2]=17.199 
}}}

are not transferred to the output file when this file is passed through the forward model:

{{{
ropp_fm_bg2ro_1d EPS-SG_SummerTestOrbit_GNSS_3profs.bg.nc -f -o temp.nc

ncks -H -vazimuth temp.nc                                          

dim_unlim[0] azimuth[0]=0 
dim_unlim[1] azimuth[1]=-9.9999e+07 
dim_unlim[2] azimuth[2]=-9.9999e+07 
}}}

Not good.

Finding out why the first one is zero, not ropp_MDFV, might be a help.

This file comprises the first three profiles of a larger, 380-profile multifile (https://www.dropbox.com/s/gt1597t8avbf7n9/EPS-SG_SummerTestOrbit_GNSS.bg.nc?dl=0).  We get the same result when we extract profiles 2-4 instead, so it doesn't seem to be the result of anything singular about the first profile.
