supy.util.download_era5(lat_x: float, lon_x: float, start: str, end: str, dir_save=PosixPath('.'), grid=[0.125, 0.125], scale=0) → dict[source]¶

Generate ERA-5 cdsapi-based requests and download data for area of interests.

Parameters:	lat_x (float) – Latitude of centre at the area of interest. lon_x (float) – Longitude of centre at the area of interest. start (str) – Any datetime-like string that can be parsed by `pandas.daterange()`. end (str) – Any datetime-like string that can be parsed by `pandas.daterange()`. grid (list, optional) – grid size used in CDS request API, by default [0.125, 0.125]. scale (int, optional) – scaling factor that determines the area of interest (i.e., `area=grid[0]scale`), by default 0. dir_save* (Path or path-like string) – path to directory for saving downloaded ERA5 netCDF files.
Returns:	key: name of downloaded file. value: CDS API request used for downloading the file named by the corresponding key.
Return type:	dict
