wind.dl: database not found

[matthewkling]

Hi Javier, thanks for the great package. I am am getting errors using the wind.dl function, which previously had been working fine. After a bit of digging, it seems maybe there was a recent update to the GFS data online, and it now only covers dates from December 2022 onward: https://pae-paha.pacioos.hawaii.edu/erddap/info/ncep_global/index.html

Consistent with the documentation at that above link, I get a "database not found" error when querying data from 11/2022 and earlier (first line below) but it runs fine for 12/2022:

wind.dl(yyyy = 2022, mm = 11, dd = 1, tt = 12, lon1 = -120, lon2 = -90, lat1 = 30, lat2 = 50)
wind.dl(yyyy = 2022, mm = 12, dd = 1, tt = 12, lon1 = -120, lon2 = -90, lat1 = 30, lat2 = 50)

It would be nice to be able to access the older data, but I'm not sure what the solution might be. Perhaps they migrated it elsewhere online?

Hi Javier

I have the same problem and can confirm, that querying data from 11/2022 or earlier seems not to work anymore. It would be nice if you can look at it

Hi Javier

Thank you very much for your reply. I was wondering if you had time in the meantime to check why rwind can't find the server to retrieve data.

Best regards Oliver

Hi Javier, I am having the same problem and the wind.dl function is not working even when I try to use the example provided in the readme file. For instance, If I try to run:

wind.dl(2015, 2, 12, 0, -10, 5, 35, 45)

I receive the following message:

ERROR: database not found. Please, check server connection, date or geographical ranges
Error in wind.dl(2015, 2, 12, 0, -10, 5, 35, 45) : object 'tmp' not found

Do you know what might be going on? Thank you so much! Best, Tiago

Hej Javi,

I have the same problem as Tiago and Oliver. Really need your package for some analysis. Could you inform us how this can be solved?

Best, Peter

Not to bother, but any update on this? I know this is a problem out of your control, but curious if you've encountered any wrap arounds.

Seems like you can only request the data before 2022-12-01 from NCEI servers, and, from my understanding, there's no way to query specific data from the files like you can from the data available on their cloud servers. Probably for most of us with projects requiring longer time series, our requests will be flagged for breaching file size / quantity limits. Quite frustrating...
