Retrieving wind speed data

[srennug]

Describe the bug

When pulling a larger time frame of wind speed data, errors occur. It also takes a long time to retrieve the data, not sure if this can be improved

To Reproduce

Set periods > 400

Expected behaviour

This should just pull all the values for u v wind speeds from the selected time frame.

Additional context

Add any other context about the problem here. windspeeds.txt

There might be a hard limit on number of periods.

Perhaps you could do a limit of 100, and then loop through and concatenate the data together

Attached is the code I've been using to do this but I'm still getting the same error.

EOFError: End of file: <_io.BufferedReader name='/Users/tomelder/data/gfs/20220506/subset_f5effba6__gfs.t00z.pgrb2.0p25.f000'>

It seems to work until it reaches a certain date. The code from the previous message could take 200 period from the start of 2022 but not 2021.

[peterdudfield]

hmm, what date does it fail on?

You might need to H.download(searchString, overwrite=True) or something like that?

The first two months of 2021 and March of 2022 give errors. I was able to take a year of values from 2021.03.01 at 24hr intervals, but it gives errors when I try to take 12hr intervals. I think the errors are frequent throughout the data set.

I've written a function which replaces the dates that give an error with the previous u v wind speeds.

Great work. I would probably leave the blank data blank, so we dont end up with any weird results in the end. Good work getting all that data

Ok, to close this now? Did this get solved?
