get_merra2are failing (log). It seems that NASA has decommissioned the THREDDS server we accessed. See for example the error message returned from this example query:Unfortunately there does not seem to be any direct replacement for the THREDDS server, but there is another API called Giovanni which is similar enough that I think we can replicate our original functionality without needing to change our function signature or even have much awkwardness internally. I was not able to find any documentation for the API except for an example notebook, but it seems straightforward to use. Unfortunately the returned metadata is different, but there's no getting around that.
