Feature/add dewpoint temperature

Open ymiftah opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Closes # (if applicable).

Change proposed in this Pull Request

Adds dewpoint temperature to the list of features fetched from ERA5.

It is possible that existing data pipelines that expect only 2 variables for the temperature may experience breaks with the addition of the new column. Should this new feature be optional instead ?

Description

Added the dewpoint_temperature variable, consistent with the processing of existing temperature and soil temperature variables

Motivation and Context

Dewpoint temperature is a good indicator of climate comfort and predictor of electricity demand.

How Has This Been Tested?

Tested by preparing a Cutout from ERA5, verifying the dew point temperature is included. Tested on python 3.10.12
