Download time series WRONG!

Datasets and Usage CAMS - Datasets and Usage

When I download The CAMS Global Fire Assimilation System Datasets by month, I inputed the whole month like 2023-09-01 to 2023-09-30, and submit message shows the same period,but the .nc file shows a time period of 2023-09-02 to 2023-10-01 with xarray after I downloaded the file. It’s really confused, maybe the server processed wrong data?

Hi,
The new netCDF converter chooses the end of the 24-hour averaging period rather than the start as the validity time, hence the 24-hour shift you’re seeing.

Thanks

Thanks for your reply!
I’m glad you can answer my question. So that means I need to input 2023-08-31 to 2023-09-29 to download the 2023 September’s fire emission data?

Have a nice day! :slight_smile:
