Daily-averaged analysis-ready ERA5 data #61

Thanks for this fantastic initiative, it's great to be able to access ERA5 data straight into RAM with just a few lines of code.

Currently only an hourly, instantaneous time version of ERA5 is provided. However, it's common in environmental ML research to use daily averages (especially when compute is restricted or for PoC purposes). Are there any plans to provide a daily-averaged version of the analysis-ready data? This would reduce network traffic and presumably decrease download time by 24x, which would be useful. Cheers!
