@FXF48-Mila : since 2022 data is now "frozen", I think you could just make a script/notebook that pull all data down. I'd advocate for saving the downloaded CSV file to somewhere under REPO_ROOT/data folder, potentially with a subfolder called meteorological_data or similar, just to have a clean organization.

By randomly poking around, I think somewhere on this website https://www-k12.atmos.washington.edu/k12/grayskies/ you could find other stations or other measurements that may be useful.

@FXF48-Mila: I know you have downloaded the weather data by modifying code from what Mollie had. Do you want to add that into this repo so that you always have it accessible? It may be useful to have it as a script that one can modify the start/end time and a save location.

Hi @leewujung, I'm sorry I just saw this issue. The code to get the weather information that I got from Mollie's repo is called manully_get_weather_data.py and is now in bat-detector-validation/data/randomization /manully_get_weather_data.py. Please let me put the code file into the folder data/meteorological_data as you said. Should I make a new PR to do this? Or should I just modify the main branch?

I think you can move the notebooks in randomization to under analysis/notebooks and python modules/scripts to analysis/scripts (new folder). You can also link these in the README.
