-The package provides readers and converters for the MERRA2 data in a similiar
-manner like the gldas package.

 Description
 ===========
 
-So far the 1-hourly and monthly data sets are supported. The structure of the
-package is as follows:
+Functionalities for downloading, reading and writing MERRA-2 reanalysis data.
+Specifically, the modules provide an interface to the M2T1NXLND data set,
+which provides Land Surface Diagnostics at 0.5 ° x 0.625 ° spatial - and
+1-hourly temporal resolution.
+
+The structure of the package is as follows:
 
 * grid.py : implements the asymmetrical GMAO 0.5 x 0.625 grid
 * interface.py : classes for reading a single image, image stacks and time series
-* reshuffle.py : provides a command line utility for reshuffling an image stack to time series format
-* download.py : command line utility for downloading merra2 data from the nasa datapool
-* reshuffling_process.py : WILL BE REMOVED

-This project has been set up using PyScaffold 2.5.7. For details and usage
-information on PyScaffold see http://pyscaffold.readthedocs.org/.
+* reshuffle.py : provides a command line utility for reshuffling a stack of 1-hourly sampled native images to time series format with an arbitraty temporal sampling between 1-hour and daily
+* download.py : command line utility for downloading MERRA-2 data from the NASA GES DISC datapool
+* reshuffling_process.py : python interface to the reshuffling command line script
