Hi Stephen,
I understand that you are facing the problem of missing data for the month of January and February while using the MATLAB interface for NOAA data. I am summarizing the discussion that took place between you and Chris on the GitHub platform so that if anyone else faces the same problem again, they can refer to this summary.
The key takeaways from the discussion are:
- The problem is only with the Temperature data, for other datasets the data for the months of January and February were returned.
- The issue is at the end of NOAA. They are aware of the missing data and working to address it.
- A possible workaround to extract the relevant data was suggested involving NCEI v1 API using the “webread” function as shown below which requires you to know details like bounding box, station related to the data that you want to extract.
options = weboptions("Timeout",200)
% In the input URL of the “webread” function you need to include relevant
% information like data type, start date, end date, bounding box, station id as suggested in the curly braces below.
webread(https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/services/data/v1?dataset=dailysummaries&dataTypes={data_type}&stations={station_from_which_data_is_required}&startDate={required_starting_date}&endDate={required_end_date}&boundingBox={bounding_box_information},options)
Refer to below GitHub issue to read the entire conversation.
I hope this helps.
