Cache ungribed files #19

Closed adamk0 closed 6 years ago

adamk0 commented 7 years ago

Currently, grib2 files are being ungribed each time the new simulation is initialized, which significantly adds to the preprocessing time. The ungribed files (produced by ungrib.exe) should be cached so the same grib files are not getting decompressed multiple times.

Basic cache management, keep the ungribbed file only for some specified time interval, fixed in the past, or around present. URGENT to make simulations snappy.
