The added stations look ok in bufr_stalist.meteo.gfs, but there are several instances of Gulf of Mexico that need to be changed. Examples include:

000401 28.00N 87.00W S#7 22 GULF OF MEXICO 0 FOUS(G2GFC) 3-93

042001 25.90N 89.70W B#5 22 BUOY MID GULF MEX 0 FOUS(G2GFD) 3-93

090001 36.50N 100.80W G#1 12 PERRYTON TX 893 GUFMEX 12-93

This would also need to be changed in the 16.4 release branch.

I think changing MEX and GUFMEX to "AMR" and "GUFAMR" would be fine. And any instance of GFMX could be changed to "GFAM"

@BoCui-NOAA Please see companion PR #3353 which makes the name change to parm/product/bufr_stalist.meteo.gfs in the new GFSv16.3.22 package that is to be handed to NCO ASAP. Please review/approve, thanks!
