Hi there, I'm downloading a small test subset of total precip from ERA5 through CDS API. I think that my download is working properly, however, when I try to use the netcdf4 dataset command to open the file through opendap, I get an error saying the file cannot be found. Am I not opening the download correctly? I just started using this source very recently and I realize this could also be a python/netcdf4 issue (just trying to figure out where to troubleshoot). Code below –
In[3]: import cdsapi

Hi Rachel,
When you finished running your Python script, the NetCDF file download.nc should be available on your local disk. Please open it as you wish. The URL you were using below points to the cache on the CDS. And data in the cache could be deleted at any time.
http://136.156.133.42/cache-compute-0014/cache/data3/adaptor.mars.internal-1565729310.0289395-13532-9-b8efddf2-abca-417a-a7ae-0d8bad2fc387.nc
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Xiaobo

Thank you, Xiaobo. I did not properly locate the download.nc file my first time but redid the download in the proper directory/with a new name.
