== Problem ==

We want to download data ~~(global or subsetted)~~ using the download tool.

We want to download data subsets using the download tool.

The base url for the download tool for G5NR data is

~~http~~://portal.nccs.nasa.gov/cgi-lats4d/opendap.cgi?&path=/OSSE/G5NR/Ganymed/7km

https://portal.nccs.nasa.gov/cgi-lats4d/opendap.cgi?&path=/OSSE/G5NR/Ganymed/7km

To download a subset of the collection inst01hr_3d_T_Cv, from the above url, one can follow links [0.5000_deg → inst → Download (for the appropriate collection)] to the collection's download page at

https://portal.nccs.nasa.gov/cgi-lats4d/webform.cgi?&i=OSSE/G5NR/Ganymed/7km/0.5000_deg/inst/inst01hr_3d_T_Cv.

Here one can select variables~~, the~~ begin ~~and~~ end times, vertical levels (for 3D data), spatial subset (by drawing a box or specifying the lats/lons) and download the resulting data in a format of choice (compressed NetCDF-4, little endian binary etc.).

Here one can select

* variables

* begin/end times

* vertical levels (for 3D data)

* spatial subset (by drawing a box or specifying the lats/lons)

and download the resulting data in a format of choice (compressed NetCDF-4, little endian binary etc.).

* Command line/Python script - There has to be a way to construct the POST request and then potentially use the Python requests module???
