In addition to retrieving a single timestep, when calling a DataIndex, if the time is not fully defined, as in that the data is hourly but the time provided is merely day, all timesteps which could fit that criterion are automatically loaded. In this call an aggregation function can be provided, which will also be run.
First setting up the ERA5 DataIndex

era5=pyearthtools.data.archive.ERA5(var)
There are a variety of ways to now index into this DataIndex. We could specify a particular time.

Total horizontal solar irradiance at surface with bias correction applied
comment :
Bias correction has been applied. Surface downwelling shortwave is the sum of direct and diffuse solar radiation incident on the surface, and is sometimes called "global radiation"
The following acknowledgement is required "Solar radiation data derived from satellite imagery processed by the Bureau of Meteorology from the geostationary satellite Himawari-8 operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency using Heliosat-4 software provided by Mines ParisTech. Contains modified Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service Information 2021."
