Written by: Hamid Ali Syed and Bobby Jackson
This function will read ERA 5 in NetCDF format
and add it to the Py-ART grid specified by Grid.
PyDDA will automatically download the ERA 5 data
that you need for the scan. It will chose the
domain that is enclosed by the analysis grid and
the time period that is closest to the scan.
It will then do a Nearest Neighbor interpolation of the
ERA-5 u and v winds to the analysis grid.
You need to have the ERA5 CDSAPI and an CDS Copernicus
account set up in order to use this feature. Go to this
website for instructions on installing the API and
setting up your account:
https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/api-how-to
Parameters
----------
Grid: Py-ART Grid
The input Py-ART Grid to modify.
file_name: str or None
The netCDF file containing the ERA 5 data. If the web
API is experiencing delays, it is better to use it to download the
file and then refer to it here. If this file does not exist
PyDDA will use the API to create the file.
vel_field: str or None
The name of the velocity field in the Py-ART grid. Set to None to
have Py-DDA attempt to automatically detect it.
dest_era_file:
If this is not None, PyDDA will save the interpolated grid
into this file.
method: str
Interpolation method: 'nearest' for nearest neighbor,
'linear' for linear.
Returns
-------
new_Grid: Py-ART Grid
The Py-ART Grid with the ERA5 data added into the "u_era",
"v_era", and "w_era" fields.
