Public AWS Connection - NOAA Radar Data

[MichaelRBanks]

I’m a novice and would like to connect to NOAA weather radar data to practice. It’s hosted on a public s3 bucket, but I can’t figure out how to set up the connection. See info below, any help is appreciated:

Hi there @MichaelRBanks ,

welcome to KNIME Community Forum!

I guess you tried Amazon S3 Connection node? unfortunately currently it is not possible to connect to public S3 bucket with it.

See this topic for more info and proposed workaround: Amazon s3 Node Examples broken

Hi @MichaelRBanks -

I have a soft spot for met data so I wanted to give this shot. Using the method @ipazin posted does seem to work. I’ve attached a sample workflow, since the path names you have to provide are quite specific. Hope this helps!
