Reading monthly data

[jeenriquez]

Hey @luizhdasilva , Lets talk about these lines of code:

if monthly_mean:
    print('---------------------------')
    data_path = str(input('Insert monthly averaged data path: '))

which are here.

Maybe we can find another way to read the monthly data, first I need to understand more about the data itself, and if there is a naming convention to save these files. I'm also wondering if this is something that can be calculated "on the fly".

Cheers,

Hi @jeenriquez,

This is a specific case that may need to be generalized. There is no naming convention because we usually work with 5-days outputs, not monthly. So, I agree with you, would be better to address this kind of need by calculating a monthly average value from the original 5-days outputs. In this way, wouldn't be necessary for the user to have their own monthly averaged file.

Cheers,

Sounds good. I think we can delete those line for now. If you agree.

That sounds great to me. If the user wants to do monthly mean, the code should be able to average the 5-days outputs.

Removed code. Closing issue for now.
