The main idea from the MARS point of view:
The main idea in brief:
- 4 categories of requests:
- control plevels
- control sfc
- ensemble plevels
- ensemble sfc
- For each category above:
- For each year from 1994 to 2014
- For each month from January to December
- retrieve hindcast dates 1-15 using requests according to data availability*
- API request 1
- API request 2
- API request 3
- retrieve hindcast dates 15-end of month using requests according to data availability
- API request 1
- API request 2
- API request 3
- retrieve hindcast dates 1-15 using requests according to data availability*
- For each month from January to December
- For each year from 1994 to 2014
- for instance
- for plevels different parameters are available on different levels so Ben has created 3 pl requests
- for sfc different parameters are available for different steps so he has created 3 sfc requests
