This generates files in the for accepted by the EBAS/WDCA archive. These files are derived from the NASA/Ames format with customized extensions specific to EBAS. The output is one or more specially named files in an output directory.

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.
Default: All available
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 exampleBND,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.
