What is the objective of this page?
Info |
---|
To help users to improve S2S BoM MARS requests performance via the WebAPI.
|
How is the S2S reforecast data organised in MARS?
Info |
---|
In general it is organised, as a huge tree, with the indentation below, showing different levels down that tree:
|
What would be the natural way to group requests?
Info |
---|
The idea is to request as much data as possible from the same tape file. The natural way to group requests would be:
|
Best practise to iterate over all hindcastDates of several hindcastYears for BoM

for hindcastYear in hindcastYears |
Web-API examples:
A BoM reforecast request for all the available hindcastDates

organise the requested data in files as you wish. In the example below the data is written per leveltype (sfc, pl) per hindcastMonth |
