e2o_getvar - retrieve variables

e2o_getval gets variables from the server for a specific region (specified in the ini file) and optionally resamples those to a specified Digital Elevation Model (DEM). e2o_getvar outputs daily values in the original units. The script does not do any physical downscaling other than simple interpolation. Use the e2o_calculateEvaporation script for more elaborate downscaling options.

Usage:

e2o_getvar.py -I the_ini_file

ini file configuration

The .ini file below shows the available options

An example ini file be found here.
