Parsing output from the met.no data API #6

Open olafurrognvaldsson opened 7 years ago

olafurrognvaldsson commented 7 years ago

We need a general purpose parser to handle the output files from the MET API in order to create simple csv-files of observation data.

The reason is that we need to be able to compare (see separate issue) results from arbitrary WRF simulations (forecasts and/or downscaling experiments) to observations, particularly in Norway and Iceland due to ongoing and upcoming research projects. As the MET API also gives access to around 60 weather stations is Iceland, it is obviously superior to what we can get automatically from the Icelandic Met. Office (which, at the moment, is nothing ;)

Finally, as the IMO is more or less copying the work done by the Norwegian Met. Office (met.no) this code/parser will come in handy once IMO launches its own API.

I'm attaching a memo I wrote earlier on the use and usability of the MET API: metapi-memo.pdf

The output from the parser would than be used by the software tools from issue https://github.com/Belgingur/WrfUtils/issues/7

Did any useful data ever come out of this?
