WPLA Dev 3.0 \\ WeatherModel, WeatherSource and WeatherController development

[rflinnenbank]

The following features are included:

• Base functionality for the three classes is operational. This includes required attribute detection and the related error handling, abstract method definitions and documentation, hookup of the model to source, and the source to the controller and placeholders for advanced functionality that will be included later. External models and sources, as well as the configuration of those source through manual files should also be possible. Output is limited to only the harmonized NetCDF4 response for the get_weather() function at this stage.
• The full harmonization system.
• A dummy WeatherModelBase class and a dummy WeatherSourceBase class are constructed as both a tutorial for users, as wel as the testing of base functionality of the three classes.
• All of the code has both proper sphinx-proof documentation and full unit test coverage.

The rebuilding of the model structure in particular is unfortunately taking a bit longer than intended, both because this is one of the two main classes responsible for data handling (the other being the Repository class), and because a number of further improvements have been added to the system, which resulted in both faster handling and better self-validation.

This is as of today the current state of development:

DONE:

1. The Source class has been implemented.
2. Self-validation checks implemented.
3. Base interactions with model data (factors and their formats) have been implemented.
4. Proper Multi-Index construction examples have been added to the dummy model, and tested.

TODO:

1. Build the Repository class
2. Build the Transformer class
3. Complete the dummy/example model, completing the Model class.
4. Write tests.
5. Verify documentation
