Plans to add "regular" (not reforecast) GEFS? #132

Open williamhobbs opened 1 year ago

williamhobbs commented 1 year ago

This package allows access to the GEFS reforecast (e.g., https://registry.opendata.aws/noaa-gefs-reforecast/) but it doesn't appear to provide access to the "regular" GEFS (https://registry.opendata.aws/noaa-gefs/).

This would be a nice feature to add, since:

  1. "regular" GEFS covers ~2017 through real-time (the reforecast GEFS ends in 2019)
  2. "regular" GEFS is in normal .grib2 file format, unlike the reforecast version, so work done with the regular version translates more directly to real-time applications.

Let me know if this feature request would be better moved to the discussion section.

Thanks!

Great idea! This should be easy to do, just need to update the GEFS model template to include the "regular" URLS. https://github.com/blaylockbk/Herbie/blob/main/herbie/models/gefs.py

I'll try to get to this this week.

I reopened this because I want to do more testing and verify it works for more cases than I tested.

Didn't see you had updated this last month. Probably around the exact same time, I wrote up some GEFS code for the real-time atmos and wave model data. I just submitted a pull request to you for this if it helps.
