Switches

--directory=DIRECTORY

This is the directory files will be placed in.

Default: Current directory

--output=STRING

This is the output configuration to generate. Output configurations generally corispond to EBAS data levels. Consult the profile configuration for available outputs. This is a regular expression that can match multiple outputs.

Default: All available

--profile=STRING

This is the profile name to output. Multiple profiles can be defined to specify different sets of data that can be output independently. Consult the station configuration for available profiles.

Default: aerosol

--quiet[=BOOLEAN]

If set then no progress output is displayed and any confirmation prompts are bypassed.

Default: Disabled

--type=STRING

This is the type of output to generate. Different output types generally correspond to different cut size and instrument pairs. Consult the profile configuration for available types. This is a regular expression that can match multiple types.

Arguments

station

This argument is used to specify the station used to look up variables that do not include a station as part of an archive read specification. The station is the three letter GAW station code of the location, such as BND. The argument accepts multiple stations specified as regular expressions and separated by : or ; or ,. For example BND,MLO and (BND|MLO) are two ways of selecting both the BND and MLO stations.

The special value allstations may also be specified to select all stations.

times

This argument may be split into multiple actual program arguments. This full list of time arguments defines a time bounds list that sets the range of data queried. The final resulting data are clipped to the given time bounds but any values that intersect them are returned.

Examples

Output EBAS data

This will output data for the default "aerosol" profile.
