I was wondering if it is possible to request data using the API with time given in hours since 01-01-1900, which appears to be how it is given in netCDF files. So instead of the usual year/month/day/time arrays, you would request the following:
c.retrieve( 'reanalysis-era5-land',
{ 'format': 'netcdf',
'variable': [ '2m_dewpoint_temperature', '2m_temperature', ],
'hours': [ '1074168', '1074169', '1074170', '1074171', '1074172', '1074173' ], },
'download.nc')
