Hi @KMarkert

I tried using VIC through hydrate but it threw error at
chirps = hyd.Forcing(session, 'earthengine-public',
'UCSB-CHG/CHIRPS/DAILY', bands=['precipitation'])

and the error is
ValueError: Server returned a bad status of 403:Forbidden

Could you shed some light on what may be the issue?
Thank you very much for your help,

Shri
