Strategy to deal with gaps of data in GOES-16 bucket (e.g., missing hour folders)

[gbejarl]

Hi! I'm using goes2go.goes_timerange() to retrieve a list of files in a given time interval. It's my impression that goes_timerange() generates a list of folders that it expects to find and when those directories do not exist, it raises a FileNotFoundError that interrupts the code.

For instance, for the variables RRQPEF on the 6th day of 2020 (https://noaa-goes16.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html#ABI-L2-RRQPEF/2020/006/), there are only 22 folders (there should be 24). When using goes2go.goes_timerange() with an interval that includes this day, the program is interrupted because it can't find the missing folders. Is there a way to ignore the error or just return the list of folders without checking if they exist in the bucket?

Thanks!
