Info
  • The objective of this example is to demonstrate how to make a request efficient by iterating properly over several hindcastYears, hindcastMonths and hindcastDays
  • It can be used as a starting point however you need to adapt it to your needseg to set the keyword values (eg hindcastYear).
  • In this way you can extend this request to download the whole S2S CMA reforecast,  but don't forget to check CMA availability (warning)

(warning) Please note: use the variable "target"  to write each hindcastDate on a separate file .
