Hi, thanks for the suggestion. best_match
is a bit more complicated than just selecting a single weather model. Depending on the weather variable, different models might be used. Getting all meta data right will challenging. See #mete
Our company uses Open-Meteo's Forecast API for the simulation of scenarios. We allow users to select a weather model for wind simulations. We default to
best_match
if no weather model is provided or if the requested weather model is unavailable for the location. In this case, we would like to inform the user which weather model was selected.Currently, when
best_match
is requested as a weather model, open-meteo's response returnsbest_match
, and no information on which weather model was actually selected. We kindly ask for this information to be returned.Here is some code to reproduce:
Returns:
We wish that it returned (assuming that
ecmwf_ifs04
was selected by open-meteo as the best weather model for the location):
