'''
A TIGGE request for control forecast, sfc, for 3 Centers : ECMWF, JMA and KMA.
Keep in mind that if you wish to download the same data, for more than one origins, it is more efficient to request all of them in one go.
You can change the keywords below to adapt it to your needs,
(ie to add more parameters, or steps, or even more Centers etc),
Presumably you need to check the availability of the requested Centers.
