The global forecast service (GFS) initial state data source provided on an equirectangular grid. GFS is a weather forecast model developed by NOAA. This data source is provided on a 0.25 degree lat lon grid at 6-hour intervals spanning from Jan 1st 2021 to present date.
Parameters:
-
source(str, default:'aws') –Data store location to pull from. Options are [aws, ncep], by default aws
-
cache(bool, default:True) –Cache data source on local memory, by default True
-
verbose(bool, default:True) –Print download progress, by default True
-
async_timeout(int, default:600) –Time in sec after which download will be cancelled if not finished successfully, by default 600
-
async_workers(int, default:None) –Maximum number of concurrent downloads. By default None, which autoscales to the number of download tasks (capped at 64)
-
retries(int, default:3) –Number of retries for each download task on transient errors, by default 3
Warning
This is a remote data source and can potentially download a large amount of data to your local machine for large requests.
Note
This data source only fetches the initial state of GFS and does not fetch an
predicted time steps. See [GFS_FX][earth2studio.data.GFS_FX] for fetching predicted
data from this forecast system.
