## Comments:


*RB*: I'd be inclined to keep tasmax, tasmin and precip in all folders, but store the other vars, rather than store whole folders. 
CHESS-SCAPE can be stored as we aren't using at the moment
Also we could store the runs we aren't focusing depending what we decide about applying the 'chosen' method to the whole dataset
Also I think `ClimateData/Debaised/tasmax` probably could be put into storage but I will double check 

## Azure teirs 

- Hot tier - An online tier optimized for storing data that is accessed or modified frequently. The hot tier has the highest storage costs, but the lowest access costs.
- Cool tier - An online tier optimized for storing data that is infrequently accessed or modified. Data in the cool tier should be stored for a minimum of 30 days. The cool tier has lower storage costs and higher access costs compared to the hot tier.
- Cold tier - An online tier optimized for storing data that is rarely accessed or modified, but still requires fast retrieval. Data in the cold tier should be stored for a minimum of 90 days. The cold tier has lower storage costs and higher access costs compared to the cool tier.
- Archive tier - An offline tier optimized for storing data that is rarely accessed, and that has flexible latency requirements, on the order of hours. Data in the archive tier should be stored for a minimum of 180 days.

Costs : Hot: $0.018 per GB Cool: $0.01 per GB  Archive: $0.00099


## Update 09th APR by BZ

The 'tier change' function has been tested and seems to work as expected. I have copied the `ClimeData/Interim/CPM` dataset to the new `archieve` container 

The offical guideline is [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/access-tiers-online-manage?tabs=azure-portal#bulk-tiering), the website portal can only operate single files, not applicable for bulks. It advised to use either `Azure CLI` or PowerShell to manage bulks or folders. 

The easiest way I found is to use Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer to select "all files" and switch their access tier to "archive." 


## Update 21th May by BZ

The current daily basis cost is around £9.82 for storage only,  along with some cost of IO.
