- Let's see how we can change the script above to iterate over several hindcastYears, hindcastMonths and hindcastDays efficiently
- Each hindcastDate is written into a separate file by setting the variable "target" accordingly.
- Please note that the objective of this python script example is only to demonstrate how to make a MARS request efficient . You by iterating properly.
- It can be used as a starting point however you need to adapt it to your needseg:
- to set the keywords values (eg hindcastYear) according to your needs.
Don't forget to check the availability! - to make it more "pythonic"
- etc
- to set the keywords values (eg hindcastYear) according to your needs.
By setting the variable "target" accordingly you can have each hindcastDate to be written on a separate file .
