        The package provides readers and converters for the Land Surface Diagnostics
        within the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications
        version 2 (MERRA-2). MERRA-2 is a NASA atmospheric reanalysis integrating
        satellite data assimilation and aims at historical climate analyses.
        MERRA-2 covers Land Surface Diagnostics for the period 1980-present
        at 0.5 ° x 0.625 ° spatial- and 1-hourly temporal-resolution.
        
        The structure of the package is as follows:
        
        * grid.py : implements the asymmetrical GMAO 0.5 x 0.625 grid
        * interface.py : classes for reading a single image, image stacks and time series
        * reshuffle.py : provides a command line utility for reshuffling a stack of 1-hourly sampled native images to time series format with an arbitraty temporal sampling between 1-hour and daily
        * download.py : command line utility for downloading MERRA-2 data from the NASA GES DISC datapool
