Investigate downloader for NOAA products on CLASS #9

The NOAA Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System (CLASS) has some products, such as Fog/Low Cloud, that are not available on AWS (though perhaps they will be soon?). CLASS currently has FTP access to download products.

Maybe we could look at adding an option to the downloader utilities to use CLASS rather than AWS, depending on where the product is located?

Hi,

I'm planning to release v1.0 of goespy with a complete refactoring of all functions inside it, removing unnecessary for-loops, to make it useful as both a script and a module.

I believe it's very reliable for goespy to have this dataset in the toolkit. I'll take notes about the FTP server from CLASS, and feel free to post anything else you discover here.
