Getting new windfields

We have an agreement with NILU to get WINDFIELDS for running FLEXPART. We do not mirror the entire FLEXPART "archive" from NILU but download data on demand for running FLEXPART on abel. We use a python script called getWINDFIELDS.py

module load flexpart

getWINDFIELDS.py -h
