It seems that download_noaa_aws.sh
is no longer used within GeoIPS source code. Per a conversation with @jsolbrig, we've decided it's probably best to separate data collection routines into a standalone package which will do just that. Leaving this comment on this issue so we can address this at a later point.
These steps should be addressed when moving the test_data setup over to a new package.

Requested Update
Description
download_noaa_aws.sh
usesrclone
which we view as an unnecessary system dependency that could be avoided by creating a pythonic version of that file which does the same thing. Hopefully, we can create this module within the next release so we have a manageable way of tracking / installing test datasets used for GeoIPS. This could be done via http requests and dumping that data to your machine with GeoIPS installed, or a different implementation. We can discuss exactly how we want to do this later on.Background and Motivation
This came up as a conversation between @jsolbrig and myself when modifying
download_noaa_aws.sh
to getgeokompsat
test data.Alternative Solutions
Leave the code as is and deal with it.
