CDSupdate: A meta-interface for ERA5 download request, management and storage
CDSupdate is a Python package that automates the process of retrieving, processing, and managing climate data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) Climate Data Store (CDS). The tool generates daily climate data summaries, performs calculations to create custom variables such as relative humidity and heat index which serve as risk assessments, and organizes the data into a user-friendly format. By simplifying data retrieval and performing on-the-fly calculations, it saves users valuable time and effort, enabling more focus on data analysis and interpretation.
