NOAA ERDDAP RTOFS Data #47
Description
24 hour posting cycle:
This data is only updated once a day, which means water temp data could be up to 24 hours old.
in node_helper, if we exceed the the date threshold ("axis maximum" in NOAA terms) there is a block of error checking code that will subtract a day from current date and rerun the query to pull in the old data.
TO-DO: Custom timer for this data to only pull once a day and cache responses.
GPS Coordinates and null Responses
The data set is very sensitive near coast lines. If you are too close, you may get a null value.
TO-DO: Error handling for null value + Visual indicator to user to adjust coordinates further into the ocean.
