flex_extract v7.0.4

[anphi]

Dear FLEXPART users,

we prepared a bugfix version for flex_extract v7.0.3 used for retrieving ECMWF input data for FLEXPART.
This was necessary since there were errors in ERA5 and CERA retrievals. Also, there were some other problems.

NEW FEATURES:

• This version can now retrieve ERA5 and CERA data.
• It can retrieve public datasets by using the command line parameter public
• It can write an extra file mars_requests.csv which contains all mars request parameters for each request. Use the command line pararmeter request
• It can retrieve analysis and forecast ensembles efficiently e.g. by setting number=0/to/9. In this case output files get an additional suffix for the ensemble member number.

MODULE PACKAGE CONDITIONS:

On ecgate we use the following module packages:

• jasper/1.900.1(default)
• eccodes/2.9.2(nov18:default)
• ecfs/2.2.5(nov18:test:new:prodn:default)
• python/2.7.12-01(may18:new:default)
• ecaccess/4.0.2(default)
• fftw/3.3.4(default)
• emos/455-r64

Please be aware that all of the above packages are the current default versions except for emos! This is important since emos/458 does not work!
