Addresses items in #557:

  • REFS:
    • adds ensprod to AWS url
    • fixes NOMADS url
    • changes fxx=0 to 1 and issues a warning
  • adds RRFS ensemble to RRFS template

It would also be really helpful to update the RRFS example gallery https://github.com/blaylockbk/Herbie/blob/main/docs/gallery/noaa_models/rrfs.ipynb (https://herbie.readthedocs.io/en/stable/gallery/noaa_models/rrfs.html) and add something similar for REFS. Maybe that will be a future PR...

@freemansw1, don't want to step on your toes, but I was itching to explore RRFS and ended up with a something that worked. I can close this if you already have something, or you can submit suggestions/edits here.

@blaylockbk, let's give this at least a few days before merging (assuming it works 😅).

Edit # 1: Oh, I think I need to expand the tests...

Thanks! I'll wait to merge until you tell me it's good to go.

It looks to me like the RRFS prototype data on AWS has been reorganized, and some of it doesn't exist anymore. For example, the gallery example was pulling the 2024-08-15 12:00 cycle from the rrfs_a directory in the AWS RRFS [Prototype] bucket

but that directory no longer exists

and browsing the bucket, I can't find anything for 2024-08-15. I can find portions of July, 2023, Jan/Feb 2024, and May, 2024.

I'm wondering if it's best to simply drop the prototype (model='rrfs_old') from rrfs.py, since it seems to be a small and non-continuous dataset.

Ok, I dropped the prototype 'rrfs_old' and expanded test coverage.

I'm going to try to update the RRFS gallery example because it won't run, and hopefully add a short REFS example.

It looks like the ififp, natlev, and testbed products don't exist anymore, so I removed those.

Ok, @blaylockbk, I think this is ready. I added several FastHerbie timeseries examples in the RRFS example gallery notebook. It takes about 8 minutes total to run on my old laptop. Let me know if you think that's too much for the gallery and I can trim it down.
