Details

caladapt-py has the ability to store copies of objects downloaded from Cal-Adapt. An example of this would be the source rasters in netcdf format and tabular data queried using user defined AOI. Using this function you can easily create a WKT representation of yourAOI for use in querying the Cal-Adapt API.
