"""
Create cutouts with `atlite <https://atlite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_.

For this rule to work you must have

- installed the `Copernicus Climate Data Store <https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu>`_ ``cdsapi`` package  (`install with `pip``) and
- registered and setup your CDS API key as described `on their website <https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/api-how-to>`_.

.. seealso::
    For details on the weather data read the `atlite documentation <https://atlite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_.
    If you need help specifically for creating cutouts `the corresponding section in the atlite documentation <https://atlite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/create_cutout.html>`_ should be helpful.

A **SARAH-2 cutout** can be used to amend the fields ``temperature``, ``influx_toa``, ``influx_direct``, ``albedo``,
``influx_diffuse`` of ERA5 using satellite-based radiation observations.
