Command line arguments are cumbersome

The basic command to download files is pretty long:

python goesaws.py --start '08-06-2019-15:00' --end '08-06-2019-15:11' -p 'CMIP' --sector 'M2' --chan '02' -dl -o 'download/files/here'

Solutions

  1. The length of the command could be reduced by combining the product, sector, and channel arguments into one string that can be split internally: -p 'CMIP-M2-02'

  2. Modify the -d, --dl download boolean flag to pass the desired download directory path.
    The new download command would be: -dl 'download/files/here'
    Instead of: -dl -o download/files/here
