# Functionality provided: Prepare input 3D-wind fields in hybrid coordinates + surface fields for FLEXPART runs
#
# Creation: October  2014 - Anne Fouilloux - University of Oslo
# Extension November 2015 - Leopold Haimberger - University of Vienna for:
# - using the WebAPI also for general MARS retrievals
# - job submission on ecgate and cca
# - job templates suitable for twice daily operational dissemination
# - dividing retrievals of longer periods into digestable chunks
# - retrieve also longer term forecasts, not only analyses and short term forecast data
# - conversion into GRIB2
# - conversion into .fp format for faster execution of FLEXPART
#
#
# Further documentation may be obtained from www.flexpart.eu
#
# Requirements:
# in addition to a standard python 2.6 or 2.7 installation the following packages need to be installed
# ECMWF WebMARS, gribAPI with python enabled, emoslib, ecaccess web toolkit, all available from https://software.ecmwf.int/
# dateutils
# matplotlib (optional, for debugging)
#
# Get MARS GRIB fields from ECMWF for FLEXPART
