Hello,

I wanted to ask why these parameters (depth unit and depth value) were not included. I understand that they are not necessary for all data (such as air temperature - code TAVG) but they are important to get soil moisture - SMS at different depth, for example -40in). I'm adding here the link to the AWDB test tool.

I've tried to add these parameters to your script and they are not read properly, and the only output data I get is the data that doesn't depend on depth/height. Could you please check if these parameters can be added to your current script version?

Thank you, Olena
