Fixed an issue with data format provided by new cds api, added test #79

Open y-pohlmann-lintas opened 2 weeks ago

The API of the copernicus Climate Data Store (CDS) was revised at the end of September.

The data format provided by the API for ERA5 data has also changed.

The column containing the time stamps is now no longer called “time” but “valid_time”. This leads to errors when reformatting the data provided into the dataframe format.

As a solution, I suggest simply renaming the column to “time” when reformatting.

I have also added a test that checks the reformatting into the Pandas dataframe format. Sample data is used for this.
