ERA5 download

Summary

I will write and document how to download meteo data from ERA5.

Description

To train the model it is necessary to have meteo data for the corresponding time-span. For the training we will use ERA5 reanalysis (1979-present).

1. register an API-key for cds.climate.copernicus.eu
2. install python's cdsapi
3. write a helper script to download the required data
   • since this script might be useful in future projects, it will be under misc/scripts
4. adding the choice to download custom values

Under the config file it is possible to choose the dates to download, and what set of values. At the moment two set of values are implemented: all-agro and mappiamo-production. We now have production variables used by MPA-solution.
