Iris integration (O)

[wizardstoy]

• Aim

Ensure that Iris can integrate with the mapping-manager data, in order to keep an up-to-date um_cf_map.py module.

• Constraints

This is related directly to the mapping-manager project as export will be closely tied to data architecture but may be related to this project if common routines are needed for data export.

• Risks

Coordination between metOcean-mapping, mapping-manager and Iris might be complex.

• Architecture

Possibly a python module in this project or mapping-manager to handle the subtleties of querying a changing dataset but the actual generation script for the um_cf_map.py file should reside within Iris and operate on an 'as-requested' basis.

Proof of concept: https://github.com/marqh/iris/tree/metaEx

this uses UM releases, which is not preferred (#23) so should be reimplemented after #23 is complete

the iris-code-generators project in scitools provides this functionality now
