TOAR Gridding Tool

About

The TOARgridding projects data from the TOAD database (https://toar-data.fz-juelich.de/) onto a grid. The stations within one cell of the grid are averaged.

The tool handels the request to the database over the REST API and the subsequent processing. The results are provided as xarray objects for subsequent processing by the user.

This project is in beta with the intended basic functionalities. The documentation is work in progress.
