Hi everyone,
If anyone is interested, I have written and published a Python script that will update local copies of the M4 20 Hz/10 min data based on a) whether the local version exists and b) whether the online version has a newer modification date. The script works on Windows and should work on Linux with a few file-path modifications.
You can find the script (“update_nrel.py”) and a module with helper functions at [url]http://people.duke.edu/~jmr64/update_nrel_data/[/url].
This is an extended version of the code from the old forum post (How are you accessing/updating your wind data?), in addition to being newly implemented in Python.
Please let me know if you have any questions or see any errors.
Cheers,
Jenni
