IOSError when trying to connect: old url is used

[pvdwijk]

Hi,

trying to connect I received an IOSError after providing username and password. After some trial and error I found that the issue is the url:
old value: BASE_URL = 'https://goldsmr4.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/opendap/MERRA2/M2T1NXSLV.5.12.4/'
new value: BASE_URL = 'https://goldsmr4.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/opendap/MERRA2/M2T1NXSLV.5.12.4/'
This needs to be updated in the "download_script.ipynb" (in the "subsetting data" section of the Jupyter notebook").

Also note that for the temperature, density, etc the url is starting with "http://", this should be changed into "https://" (add the 's' after 'http').

Please update this in the code and all subsequent base_url (e.g. for roughness, pressure, temperature, etc).

Kind regards,
Pieter

@pvdwijk can you check whether the updated file download_merra2.ipynb fixes this issue?
