Typo in ClimaArtifacts - ESM SnowMIP Metadata #35

Open a-charbon opened 1 week ago

tagging @kmdeck per request:

When I use the following code:

filepath = ClimaLand.Artifacts.esm_snowmip_data_path()
metadata_path = joinpath(filepath, "site_metadata.txt")
site_metadata = readdlm(metadata_path, '\t', skipstart = 1)

The resulting matrix of data in site_metadata shows the latitude of the Sodankyla, Finland site as being equal to the longitude (lat: 29.59, lon: 29.59, in Egypt), this is likely a copy/paste error as the true coordinates of the SnowMIP site, having a latitude closer to 67.something. This is easily rectified downstream, but if importing in an automated manner would skew the resulting prescribed solar insolation.

Is this an issue for ClimaArtifacts?
