Open and read an NDBC data file

[milancurcic]

NDBC maintains buoys and the database of their measurements: https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/

Let's start with one buoy just offshore from from Long Island: https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=44097

You can see the data available for this buoy here: https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_history.php?station=44008

Let's start with data from 2023: https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/view_text_file.php?filename=44008h2023.txt.gz&dir=data/historical/stdmet/

This last link will allow you to download the data to a file on your computer.

Using Python, your challenge is to:

• Open this file
• Read it line by line
• Print each line back to the screen
