Hello,
I am struggling with downloading data fro CDS store using the API for a small region of the world (e.g. a mountain range) but for many decades if not the entire ERA5 timeseries.
My question is about optimizing the query in order to minimize the time to download the data. My previous strategy was to download monthly files. Currently I switched to daily files. It still takes weeks to download 20 years of data for the region of interest (let’s say the European Alps). So do you have advice on how to optimize the query that the CDS server spent the least time to extract the data.
Thanks
