What is the objective of this page?
Info |
---|
To help users to improve S2S CMA 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
Info |
---|
For each hindcastYear iterate over all the available hindcastMonths and for each hindcastMonth iterate over all the available hindcastDays.
