Better documentation about coordinate variables
Closed this issue · 1 comments

Currently, some necessary clarity is missing in the documentation in how coordinates are treated by the tool. Because coordinates are given in four separate but not individually labeled numbers, it is important that it is clear to the user what sequence they should be given in.
- when calling
era5cli hourly --help
, area variable help is given as[--area AREA AREA AREA AREA]
, instead of specifying explicitly what order the coordinates are supposed to be given in. It should be possible to change this to, e.g.[--area LAT_MAX LON_MIN LAT_MIN LON_MAX]
. See argparse documentation for how to implement this. - Use of x and y (as
xmin
e.g.), currently used in the--help
, may be confusing as well, and should be replaced by clearer terms like longitude and latitude.

I propose:
xmin --> lonmin
xmax --> lonmax
ymin --> latmin
ymax --> latmax
