def ecmwf_aifs_post_processing(path,
western_bound,
eastern_bound,
northern_bound,
southern_bound):
This function does the following:
1) Subsets the ECMWF AIFS model data.
2) Post-processes the GRIB variable keys into Plain Language variable keys.
Required Arguments:
1) path (String) - The path to the folder containing the ECMWF AIFS files.
2) western_bound (Float or Integer) - Default=-180. The western bound of the data needed.
3) eastern_bound (Float or Integer) - Default=180. The eastern bound of the data needed.
4) northern_bound (Float or Integer) - Default=90. The northern bound of the data needed.
5) southern_bound (Float or Integer) - Default=-90. The southern bound of the data needed.
Optional Arguments: None
Returns
An xarray data array of ECMWF data.
