Input data is the ECMWF ERA-Interim archive MARS retrieval performed using the script retrieve_nwp_grib_data.py, and u10s NetCDF products generated using the script create_u10s_netcdf_files.py. Both are parth of the myocean mercurial repository. The actual revision used is: 283:d3e3c451c4cd. The actual grib to netcdf conversion was done by the convert_grib_to_netcdf.py python module, part of the genscat software, svn revision r12339
