How to download the example data

WARNING: we had to remove the example data from the input_field  directory as we can't (and don't want to) git data that are too large. This data are available under this link: https://swot.jpl.nasa.gov/data/simulator...gedata.zip

Before running the example:

• click on swotsimulator_largedata.zip to download the data,
  
• unzip the downloaded zipped document,
  
• copy everything from the unzipped directory into example/input_field directory
  

Note that you only have to do that once when you clone the git swotsimulator repository. Updating the code by doing a git pull won't modify the example data files.
