Last change on this file since f20af73 was f20af73, checked in by Anne Philipp <anne.philipp@…>, 5 years ago

added CDS API support for ERA5 instead of ECMWFAPI / refactored setup of CONTROL parameter because for local version it wanted to use not installed ECMWF_ENV file.

8# @Change History:
9#    October 2014 - Anne Fouilloux (University of Oslo)
10#        - created functions silent_remove and product (taken from ECMWF)
11#
12#    November 2015 - Leopold Haimberger (University of Vienna)
13#        - created functions: interpret_args_and_control, clean_up
14#          my_error, normal_exit, init128, to_param_id
15#
16#    April - December 2018 - Anne Philipp (University of Vienna):
17#        - applied PEP8 style guide
18#        - added documentation
19#        - moved all non class methods from former file Flexparttools in here
20#        - seperated args and control interpretation
21#        - added functions get_list_as_string, read_ecenv, send_mail, make_dir,
22#          put_file_to_ecserver, submit_job_to_ecserver, get_informations,
23#          get_dimensions, execute_subprocess, none_or_int, none_or_str
