Latest Available Cycle

[hahnd]

Describe the New Feature

In the Launch WRF user interface, add an option to select the "Latest Available Cycle Time" rather than manually selecting the date and cycle. The server-side could search for the latest available IC/BC data at runtime.

Time Estimate

24h

Tasks

• Update the UI to include a check box for the "Latest Available Cycle Time" -- when selected, the date/cycle hour selections should either be disabled or not displayed.
• Update the API request data structure to include a representation for latest available.
• Create a Python function to find the latest cycle time of the IC/BC data set.
• Update the Python function that runs WRF and creates the namelist to call the function to get the latest cycle time if that option is set in the request. Start with RunWrf action in the API.
