Download by mask #11

Hi,

does it has the functionality to download by mask? I could not find a proper way to do it directly.

For instance if I want to download the data from a specific region, some websites (such as Copernicus) allow me to choose a geographical area and download the data only within the extension I want.

Hi Rafael,

This can be a useful feature (for regional/local studies, reduced data size, faster downloads). Unfortunately, acccmip6 only mimics the options in ESGF. I am not aware of any options in ESGF like in Copernicus for sub-region extraction. I could be wrong, but I believe Copernicus preprocess (regional masking) the data on their server. For now, acccmip6 only allows global data downloads, which can be pre-processed using cmpdata.

Best, Taufiq
