# @Class Description:
# A MARS revtrieval has a specific syntax with a selection of keywords and
# their corresponding values. This class provides the necessary functions
# by displaying the selected parameters and their values and the actual
# retrievement of the data through a mars request or a Python web api
# interface. The initialization already expects all the keyword values.

@Description:
Initialises the instance of the MarsRetrieval class and
defines and assigns a set of the necessary retrieval parameters
for the FLEXPART input data.
A description of MARS keywords/arguments, their dependencies
on each other and examples of their values can be found here:
https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/UDOC/MARS+keywords
@Input:
self: instance of MarsRetrieval
For description see class documentation.
server: instance of ECMWFService (from ECMWF Web-API)
This is the connection to the ECMWF data servers.
It is needed for the pythonic access of ECMWF data.
public: integer
Decides which Web API version is used:
0: member-state users and full archive access
1: public access and limited access to the public server and
datasets. Needs the parameter dataset.
Default is "0" and for member-state users.
marsclass: string, optional
Characterisation of dataset. E.g. EI (ERA-Interim),
E4 (ERA40), OD (Operational archive), ea (ERA5).
Default is the ERA-Interim dataset "ei".
dataset: string, optional
For public datasets there is the specific naming and parameter
dataset which has to be used to characterize the type of
data. Usually there is less data available, either in times,
domain or parameter.
Default is an empty string.
type: string, optional
Determines the type of fields to be retrieved.
Selects between observations, images or fields.
Examples for fields: Analysis (an), Forecast (fc),
Perturbed Forecast (pf), Control Forecast (cf) and so on.
Default is an empty string.
levtype: string, optional
Denotes type of level. Has a direct implication on valid
levelist values!
E.g. model level (ml), pressure level (pl), surface (sfc),
potential vorticity (pv), potential temperature (pt)
and depth (dp).
Default is an empty string.
levelist: string, optional
Specifies the required levels. It has to have a valid
correspondence to the selected levtype.
Examples: model level: 1/to/137, pressure levels: 500/to/1000
Default is an empty string.
repres: string, optional
Selects the representation of the archived data.
E.g. sh - spherical harmonics, gg - Gaussian grid,
ll - latitude/longitude, ...
Default is an empty string.
date: string, optional
Specifies the Analysis date, the Forecast base date or
Observations date. Valid formats are:
Absolute as YYYY-MM-DD or YYYYMMDD.
Default is an empty string.
resol: string, optional
Specifies the desired triangular truncation of retrieved data,
before carrying out any other selected post-processing.
The default is automatic truncation (auto), by which the lowest
resolution compatible with the value specified in grid is
automatically selected for the retrieval.
Users wanting to perform post-processing from full spectral
resolution should specify Archived Value (av).
The following are examples of existing resolutions found in
the archive: 63, 106, 159, 213, 255, 319, 399, 511, 799 or 1279.
This keyword has no meaning/effect if the archived data is
not in spherical harmonics representation.
The best selection can be found here:
https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/UDOC/\
Retrieve#Retrieve-Truncationbeforeinterpolation
Default is an empty string.
stream: string, optional
Identifies the forecasting system used to generate the data.
E.g. oper (Atmospheric model), enfo (Ensemble forecats), ...
Default is an empty string.
area: string, optional
Specifies the desired sub-area of data to be extracted.
Areas can be defined to wrap around the globe.
Latitude values must be given as signed numbers, with:
north latitudes (i.e. north of the equator)
being positive (e.g: 40.5)
south latitutes (i.e. south of the equator)
being negative (e.g: -50.5)
Longtitude values must be given as signed numbers, with:
east longitudes (i.e. east of the 0 degree meridian)
being positive (e.g: 35.0)
west longitudes (i.e. west of the 0 degree meridian)
being negative (e.g: -20.5)
E.g.: North/West/South/East
Default is an empty string.
time: string, optional
Specifies the time of the data in hours and minutes.
Valid values depend on the type of data: Analysis time,
Forecast base time or First guess verification time
(all usually at synoptic hours: 00, 06, 12 and 18 ).
Observation time (any combination in hours and minutes is valid,
subject to data availability in the archive).
The syntax is HHMM or HH:MM. If MM is omitted it defaults to 00.
Default is an empty string.
step: string, optional
Specifies the forecast time step from forecast base time.
Valid values are hours (HH) from forecast base time. It also
specifies the length of the forecast which verifies at
First Guess time.
E.g. 1/3/6-hourly
Default is an empty string.
expver: string, optional
The version of the dataset. Each experiment is assigned a
unique code (version). Production data is assigned 1 or 2,
and experimental data in Operations 11, 12 ,...
Research or Member State's experiments have a four letter
experiment identifier.
Default is "1".
number: string, optional
Selects the member in ensemble forecast run. (Only then it
is necessary.) It has a different meaning depending on
the type of data.
E.g. Perturbed Forecasts: specifies the Ensemble forecast member
Default is an empty string.
accuracy: string, optional
Specifies the number of bits per value to be used in the
generated GRIB coded fields.
A positive integer may be given to specify the preferred number
of bits per packed value. This must not be greater than the
number of bits normally used for a Fortran integer on the
processor handling the request (typically 32 or 64 bit).
Within a compute request the accuracy of the original fields
can be passed to the result field by specifying accuracy=av.
Default is an empty string.
grid: string, optional
Specifies the output grid which can be either a Gaussian grid
or a Latitude/Longitude grid. MARS requests specifying
grid=av will return the archived model grid.
Lat/Lon grid: The grid spacing needs to be an integer
fraction of 90 degrees e.g. grid = 0.5/0.5
Gaussian grid: specified by a letter denoting the type of
Gaussian grid followed by an integer (the grid number)
representing the number of lines between the Pole and Equator,
e.g.
grid = F160 - full (or regular) Gaussian grid with
160 latitude lines between the pole and equator
grid = N320 - ECMWF original reduced Gaussian grid with
320 latitude lines between the pole and equator,
see Reduced Gaussian Grids for grid numbers used at ECMWF
grid = O640 - ECMWF octahedral (reduced) Gaussian grid with
640 latitude lines between the pole and equator
Default is an empty string.
gaussian: string, optional
This parameter is deprecated and should no longer be used.
Specifies the desired type of Gaussian grid for the output.
Valid Gaussian grids are quasi-regular (reduced) or regular.
Keyword gaussian can only be specified together with
keyword grid. Gaussian without grid has no effect.
Default is an empty string.
target: string, optional
Specifies a file into which data is to be written after
retrieval or manipulation. Path names should always be
enclosed in double quotes. The MARS client supports automatic
generation of multiple target files using MARS keywords
enclosed in square brackets [ ]. If the environment variable
MARS_MULTITARGET_STRICT_FORMAT is set to 1 before calling mars,
the keyword values will be used in the filename as shown by
the ecCodes GRIB tool grib_ls -m, e.g. with
MARS_MULTITARGET_STRICT_FORMAT set to 1 the keywords time,
expver and param will be formatted as 0600, 0001 and 129.128
rather than 600, 1 and 129.
Default is an empty string.
param: string, optional
Specifies the meteorological parameter.
The list of meteorological parameters in MARS is extensive.
Their availability is directly related to their meteorological
meaning and, therefore, the rest of directives specified
in the MARS request.
Meteorological parameters can be specified by their
GRIB code (param=130), their mnemonic (param=t) or
full name (param=temperature).
The list of parameter should be seperated by a "/"-sign.
E.g. 130/131/133
Default is an empty string.
