eWaterCycle Python package

This release comes with some changes to the (generic) generation of forcing data. It is now easier to define your own forcing generator. MakkinkForcings (distributed & lumped) have been added which allow for forcing generation with potential evaporation (from both ERA5 and CMIP datasets).

Added

• Added new forcing classes (#393):
  • LumpedUserForcing, DistributedUserForcing - have the variable names as an argument, as well as an optional post-processor that can derive addition variables from the downloaded data.
  • LumpedMakkinkForcing, DistributedMakkinkForcing - based on the UserForcing: selects the required variables and computes the Makkink potential evaporation.
• The available models are now stored in ewatercycle.models.sources, just like the different forcing sources (#393).

Changed

• Internal changes to DefaultForcing: variables are no longer attributes of the class, but are stored under a "filenames" (dict) attribute (#393).
• Updated the documentation to reflect the changes in the forcing generation (#393).
• Shapefiles used for generating forcing are now always copied to the output folder, to allow determination of the area to convert mm water depth to m^3 of discharge. (#393).
