def primary_gefs_post_processing(paths,
western_bound,
eastern_bound,
southern_bound,
northern_bound):
This function post-processes the GEFS (Primary) Parameters for GEFS0P50 and GEFS0P25.
Required Arguments:
1) paths (List) - A list of file paths to the GEFS0P50 or GEFS0P25 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.
Returns
An xarray data array of the post-processed GEFS data. GRIB Keys are converted to Plain Language Keys.
