691	Correct 'T' area code in BUFR Abbreviated Routing Header	Ian Culverwell		"Owen Lewis points out that there's a problem with the BUFR area code 'T'.  Apparently it should mean 45W - 180E/W excluding 0E/W, i.e. the Americas, not 45W - 180E/W including 0E/W, i.e. Europe and Asia. 

This error came to light because some ground-based measurements from China were incorrectly assigned the 'T' area code.

We therefore need to change
{{{
      IF ( LN >= 315 .OR. LN <= 180 ) THEN       ! Europe/Asia
}}}
to
{{{
      IF ( LN <= 315 .AND. LN >= 180 ) THEN      ! Americas
}}}
in
{{{
FUNCTION GTShdrGAD ( Lat, Lon ) RESULT(A2)
}}}
in '''ropp_io/bufr/gtshdrs.f90'''.  The comment section also needs updating.
