NCEI Datasets

[janheuser]

Hello, I am with the North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies, a NOAA cooperative institute collocated with the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). Myself and two coworkers, @parthk279 and @iype-eldho, are using the Earth2Studio API for downscaling experimentation. We have Earth2Studio Datasource classes for some NCEI datasets, which we are quite familiar with, that we would like to contribute to this repo. Please let us know the best path forward.

Hi @janheuser

Thanks for reaching out. We are always looking for adding new connections to useful data sources and its great to hear that you already have something written! Exciting!

Normally I would suggest just opening a PR and typically someone from the engineering team (likely myself) will help support the merge.

But before that, can I ask about the accessibility and also the licensing of this data source. I'm not familiar with NCEI but generally we try to add sources for data that can be easily used by all and generally under open license.

Perhaps you can put a few links for the specifics you're working with at the moment?
Thanks!
