Abstract PGE525 2.0.5

In PGE525/MOD_PR13A1, fixed a bug that caused the crash of the process when no compact data fieldswere in the input L2G file. In revised code, it checks for presence of "nadd_obs_row", if present, it looks for and uses the compact layers, and if not uses the layer available. Change in PGE525 2.0.5. Revised version to be used for forward processing and any remaining reprocessing to be done for NPP and JPSS1 C2. Also put in for leading edge of J2.

Problem Statement Revisions to PGE525/16-day VI, to enable it to process successfully when inputs are missing compact layers, which PGE was failing on occassionally.
