Description
The GSL ITS Data Services Group (DSG) processes RAP data to add additional fields (current, annual min/max vegetation fraction). The data is available on disk here:
/public/data/grib/ftp_rap_hyb/7/0/105/0_794802_32769
And available in the HPSS archives here:
/BMC/fdr/Permanent/{yyyy}/{mm}/{dd}/grib/ftp_rap_hyb/7/0/105/0_794802_32769/
The archive files are named: {yyyymmdd}0000.zip
The file names are: {yy}{jjj}000000{hh} where jjj is 3-digit Julian Day.
Currently, uwtools does not support pulling files from zip archives, but does pull entire archives using hsi. The extraction of the necessary files from the archive will need to be added to retrieve_data or uwtools for this to work properly.
Solution
Add a new YAML block for GSL_RAP that includes this additional data store. It's not the same data as the RAP NCEP archives, so do not conflate the two.
Add capabilty to extract files from a zip archive.
Requirements**
Acceptance Criteria (Definition of Done)
Retrieves appropriate files for MPAS App to run from GSL's processed RAP data.
