-This documentation shows how to use these python scripts to extract ECMWF ERA-Interim data and generate WINDFIELDS for running FLEXPART. 
-
-### Overview ###
-
-To run FLEXPART with ECMWF ERA-Interim data, you first need to retrieve ECMWF ERA-Interim GRIB fields and generate FLEXPART WINDFIELDS to run FLEXPART.
-
-The two main programs are called respectively `getEIdata.py` and `prepareFLEXPART.py`. 
-
-To get the usage of these programs, use `-h` option:
-
-`getEIdata.py -h`
-
-Optional arguments are mentionned in squared brackets. 
-
-* `getEIdata.py`
-
-This program allows you to download ECMWF ERA-Interim data from ECMWF using [ecmwfapi](https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/WEBAPI/ECMWF+Web+API+Home). 
-It requires `ecmwfapi` python library (see Requirements below). Check with your local IT group as it may be already available.
-
-
-{{{
-Usage: getEIdata.py --start_date=YYYYMMDD [--end_date=YYYYMMDD] [--times=tt1/tt2/tt3] [--levels=nlevels]
-                                                  [--area=north/west/south/east]  [--outputdir=output_directory]
-
-Options:
-  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
-  --start_date=start_date
-                        start date YYYYMMDD
-  --end_date=end_date   end_date YYYYMMDD
-  --times=times         times such as 00/12
-  --levels=levels       number of vertical levels
-  --area=area           area defined as north/west/south/east with default
-                        90.0/-179.0/-90.0/180.0
-  --outputdir=outputdir
-                        root directory for storing output files
-}}}
-
-* `prepareFLEXPART.py`
-
-This program allow you to generate FLEXPART WINDFIELDS (inputs for FLEXPART). It requires python interface to grib_api and `CONVERT2` program (located in `src` directory with instruction on how to compile it). You also need to provide a namelist for CONVERT2 (see test_1).
-

-Usage: prepareFLEXPART.py --start_date=YYYYMMDD [--end_date=YYYYMMDD] [--namelist=namelist_for_convert] [--inputdir=input_root_directory] [--outputdir=output_directory]

-Options:
-  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
-  --start_date=start_date
-                        start date YYYYMMDD
-  --end_date=end_date   end_date YYYYMMDD
-  --namelist=namelist   namelist used for converting
-  --inputdir=inputdir   root directory for reading input files
-  --outputdir=outputdir
-                        root directory for storing output files

-### Requirements ###
-
-| Python Support        |
-|----------------------:| 
-| python                | [http://www.python.org](http://www.python.org)  | We have use [python Anaconda](https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/) for our testings
-| python-numpy          | [http://www.numpy.org/](http://www.numpy.org/)  | Not necessary if you have installed python Anaconda
-| ecmwfapi              | [https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/WEBAPI/ECMWF+Web+API+Home](https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/WEBAPI/ECMWF+Web+API+Home) | You also need to install your API key (as explained in the documentation)
-| Utilities             |
-|----------------------:| 
-|  grib-api             | [https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/GRIB/Home](https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/GRIB/Home) | Make sure you install GRIB-API with JPEG support and python GRIB-API.
-|----------------------:| 
-| FLEXPART programs     | to run these programs (prepareFLEXPART.py), you need to compile CONVERT2 program (located in preproc/src). See separate README file to get instructions on how to compile this code.
-|----------------------:|

-### Installation ###
-
-*  Environment
-
-At UIO, Red Hat 6 Linux systems (64 bits) were used for testing. We use the [Module package](http://modules.sourceforge.net/) to set-up user environment.
-
-* Getting the source code
-In the directory of your choice:
-
-`
-git clone git@bitbucket.org:flexpart/flexpart.git
-`
-This command will create a subdirectory called flexpart: it contains the latest FLEXPART version.
-
-Set then environment variable `FLEXPART_HOME`:
-
-** Korn-shell or Bash users:
-`
-cd flexpart
-export FLEXPART_HOME=$PWD
-`
-
-** C-shell users:
-
-`
-cd flexpart
-setenv FLEXPART_HOME=$PWD
-`
-
-* Installation
-
-Make sure your first generate `CONVERT2` program (see separate instructions in `preproc/src`).
-
-Users need to be able to execute prepareFLEXPART.py and getEIdata.py so make sure they have the correct unix permissions:
-
-`
-cd preproc/python
-chmod uog+rx getEIdata.py prepareFLEXPART.py
-`
-
-These two programs must be in the user PATH. At UIO this is done automatically when loading flexpart. If not, you would need to do the following:
-
-** Korn-shell or Bash users:
-`
-export PATH=$FLEXPART_HOME/preproc/python:$PATH
-`
-
-** C-shell users:
-
-`
-setenv PATH $FLEXPART_HOME/preproc/python:$PATH
-`
-
-Where `$FLEXPART_HOME` is the directory where FLEXPART 
-
-* Testing your installation
-
-First check that grib-api python interface is correctly installed on your platform:
-`
-python
->>> from gribapi import *
->>>
-`
-Use `CTRL-D` to quit python.
-
-Then check that `ecmwfapi` is properly installed:
-`
-python
->>> from ecmwfapi import *
->>>
-`
-
-If the two previous tests were successful, you can run `tests/preproc` (See separate instructions in `tests/preproc`). 
-
-If any of these two tests fail, this probably means that either `ecmwfapi` or `grib-api` have not been installed properly. 
-
-Please report any problems.
