EURO4M testbed

The idea is to start with archiving of the former EURO4M outputs in MARS the same way as UERRA data will be stored in the future.

Solution chosen:

original data in GRIB1 (no common definitions of the parameters) for period 2008-2009
15 selected surface parameters only

List of parameters to be stored from EURO4M into MARS

@grib parameter description in the table: unit, parameter number/Id, table number (LTYPE), level

@Precipitation: We would like to have total, large-scale, and convective precipitation, rainfall, and snowfall available. In order to achieve that it is necessary to only store two of the total, large-scale, convective and precipitation, rainfall, snowfall combinations. Is this abundance of precipitation output of scientific value or is, e.g., total precipitation sufficient?
