Motivation and Context
RAiDER access ECMWF ERA-5 data from the ECMWF CDS API. Due to recent changes in how the
era5-reanalysis-completedata is stored (tape archive) data access for model levels is taking a very long for single api calls, on the order of hours. Combine that with two required calls per date and a multi-date request, and you're waiting for days.Description
This PR addresses the issue by bundling the request for all the days together when requesting model levels. The complexity is that pressure level data is still stored on a harddrive, so access is faster, but the multi-day download API does not work the same way. So, this PR updates both the pressure level and model level requests to use the fastest possible data access method.
This PR builds on #795, that PR should be merged first.
How Has This Been Tested?
Unit tests pass locally, and more unit tests have been added to test the new functionality.
