Hey Joe!
I'll need to double check on the USGS source CRS, but that shouldn't effect any of the SNOTEL info. We don't do that conversion for SNOTEL sites https://github.com/M3Works/metloom/blob/main/metloom/pointdata/snotel.py
It looks like USGS returns NAD83 values from the metadata endpoint. Here is an example of a metadata response from the API https://github.com/M3Works/metloom/blob/43d578d79a84ed5ec300c83bc66d59067c292d96/tests/data/usgs_mocks/platoro_meta.txt
Ah .. got it. Seems I got twisted around navigating the source code. Thanks for checking!
Question on where the NAD-83 EPSG code information came: https://github.com/M3Works/metloom/blob/43d578d79a84ed5ec300c83bc66d59067c292d96/metloom/pointdata/usgs.py#L79
I needed a refresher myself today and came across this in the FAQ:
Comparing the values for 637:ID:SNTL, it looks like that this is also returned in the SOAP API metadata.
So is this conversion necessary?
