• Wind Data Test Interface Options

  Test the available interfaces for speed and ease of use with speed being of primary importance. Two main options are pygrib and pydap. Pygrib reads directly from grib files, uses little space, but has annyoing data access patterns. Pydap requires the data to be converted (to inefficient formats) and loaded into a server. The data however is much more easily accessed. These two options must be tested for speed.

• Elevation Storage System

  Setup a storage system. This could either mean that load all the data into a database of some sort or parse through all the files. In the end, we may find that while a database could mean more setup, it’ll be much quicker.
