I needed to work with data from NOAA, so I write a code in jupyter notebook and solved my problem for viewing and downloading data. Then I decided to convert that code to a python package.

My Personal Website: Water Directory.

To import, use command below:

from noaa_ftp import NOAA

Available functions:

• dir()
• download()

noaa_dir = NOAA("ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov", 'pub/data/ghcn/daily').dir()
noaa_dir

noaa = NOAA("ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov", 'pub/data/ghcn/daily').download('ghcnd-stations.txt')
