Merge branch 'master' of gitlab_iannis:ioannis_binietoglou/atmospheric-lidar

""" Sample script to convert licel files to SCC netcdf format.

The script assumes the following things:

1. You have already installed the atmospheric_lidar module (e.g. using pip).
2. You have create a class in a file "lilas" describing your system (described the readme file).
   If you want to use it for a different system you need to change the script to use your own class

Run the script using: python convert_lilas.py <your options>

Examples
--------
# This will read all files starting with "l" from "my_dir".
# It will guess the measurement ID based on the date of the files, and will assume measurement number 00.
# For example, the new measurment id could be 20120101mb00
python convert_lilas.py my_dir l*.

# This will use the measurement id you defined.
python convert_lilas.py my_dir l*. -m 20120204mb32  # It will create the file 20120204mb32.nc

Help string
-----------
# To get this, run: python convert_lilas.py -h
usage: convert_lilas.py [-h] [-m MEASUREMENT_ID] [-n MEASUREMENT_NUMBER]
                        [directory] [searchstring]

positional arguments:
  directory             Directory with licel files.
  searchstring          Processing system id.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -m MEASUREMENT_ID, --measurement_id MEASUREMENT_ID
                        The new measurement id
  -n MEASUREMENT_NUMBER, --measurement_number MEASUREMENT_NUMBER
                        The measurement number for the date, if no id is
                        provided
