#*******************************************************************************
# @Author: Anne Fouilloux (University of Oslo)
#
# @Date: October 2014
#
# @Change History:
#
# November 2015 - Leopold Haimberger (University of Vienna):
# - moved the getEIdata program into a function "get_mars_data"
# - moved the AgurmentParser into a seperate function
# - adatpted the function for the use in flex_extract
# - renamed file to get_mars_data
#
# February 2018 - Anne Philipp (University of Vienna):
# - applied PEP8 style guide
# - added structured documentation
# - minor changes in programming style for consistence
# - added function main and moved function calls vom __main__ there
# (necessary for better documentation with docstrings for later
# online documentation)
# - use of UIFiles class for file selection and deletion
# - seperated get_mars_data function into several smaller pieces:
# write_reqheader, mk_server, mk_dates, remove_old, do_retrievment

'''This script extracts MARS data from ECMWF servers.
At first, the necessary parameters from command line and CONTROL files are
extracted. They define the data set to be extracted from MARS.
This file can also be imported as a module and contains the following
functions:
* main - the main function of the script
* get_mars_data - overall control of ECMWF data retrievment
* write_reqheader - writes the header into the mars_request file
* mk_server - creates the server connection to ECMWF servers
* mk_dates - defines the start and end date
* remove_old - deletes old retrieved grib files
* do_retrievement - creates individual retrievals
Type: get_mars_data.py --help
to get information about command line parameters.
Read the documentation for usage instructions.
