Hi,
I want to download radiation forecast data from ECMWF and I want to know how I should understand the tape system to have the fastest download as possible? I know I should limit the amount of times I address a single tape, so I would like to know how the radiation data from class = od (operational archive) and stream = enfo (ensembles) and oper (deterministic) is stored over the tapes. Because is it correct that I should then write a python loop that loops over dates/times that minimizes the amount of repetitive requests over the tapes?
