Hi - in the past I've downloaded C3S seasonal forecast data using this type of API script below.
I'd played with the "grid" option before now to download the data to different interpolations. I wanted to double check with those in the know - is the 'F320' setting the native resolution of the C3S model - and if not, what setting do I need to ensure the data I'm downloading isn't interpolated to an alternative grid. Am looking at extremes so am keen to keep the output as close to the resolution of the model as possible whereby any interpolation could potentially remove any sharp peaks/extremes.
Many thanks, Richard
