        Readers and converters for data from the `GLDAS Noah Land Surface Model
        <http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/services/grads-gds/gldas>`_. Written in Python.
        
        Works great in combination with `pytesmo <https://github.com/TUW-GEO/pytesmo>`_.
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        Setup of a complete environment with `conda
        <http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html>`_ can be performed using the following
        commands:
        
        .. code-block:: shell
        
          conda create -q -n gldas-environment -c conda-forge numpy netCDF4 pyproj pygrib
          source activate gldas-environment
          pip install gldas
        
        This will also try to install pygrib for reading the GLDAS grib files. If this
        does not work then please consult the `pygrib manual
        <http://jswhit.github.io/pygrib/docs/>`_.
        
        .. note::
        
           Reading grib files does not work on Windows as far as we know. It might be
           possible to compile the ECMWF C library but we have not done it yet.
        
        Downloading products
        ====================
        
        In order to download GLDAS NOAH products you have to register an account with
        NASA's Earthdata portal. Instructions can be found `here
        <http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/registration/registration-for-data-access>`_.
        
        After that you can use the command line program ``gldas_download``.
        
        .. code::
        
           mkdir ~/workspace/gldas_data
           gldas_download ~/workspace/gldas_data
        
        would download GLDAS Noah version 1 in 0.25 degree sampling into the folder
        ``~/workspace/gldas_data``. For more options run ``gldas_download -h``.
        
        Supported Products
        ==================
        
        At the moment this package only supports GLDAS Noah data version 1 in grib
        format with a spatial sampling of 0.25 degrees. It should be easy to extend the
        package to support other GLDAS based products. This will be done as need arises.
