Release different amount of particles #885

I know we can release N number of particles every m days. I am wondering if PARCELS support releasing N_i numbers of particles every M_j date. I.e, day1 release 50k, day2 release 20k particles,etc.

The easiest way to accomplish this is to create the whole particle set at once but set different start times for each particle. See e.g. https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/OceanParcels/parcels/blob/master/parcels/examples/tutorial_delaystart.ipynb#Assigning-each-particle-its-own-time
