Description

Query environmental data from various NOAA datasets including daily weather summaries, global marine data, climate normals, and more. Returns data in JSON, CSV, or other formats.

Parameters (11)

boundingBox (string, query, optional)

Geographic bounding box as four comma-separated numbers: North,West,South,East (e.g., 49.795,-2.073,49.183,-0.992). Required for global-marine dataset.

Constraints: {'pattern': '^-?\\d+\\.?\\d*,-?\\d+\\.?\\d*,-?\\d+\\.?\\d*,-?\\d+\\.?\\d*$'}

dataTypes (string, query, optional)

Comma-separated list of data types/variables to retrieve. Case-sensitive. Examples: SEA_SURF_TEMP,OSV-SALINITY for marine; TMAX,TMIN,PRCP for weather

dataset (string, query, required)

Dataset identifier (e.g., daily-summaries, global-marine, global-summary-of-the-year, global-summary-of-the-month, normals-monthly-1991-2020, normals-daily-1991-2020)

Constraints: {'enum': ['daily-summaries', 'global-marine', 'global-summary-of-the-year', 'global-summary-of-the-month', 'normals-monthly-1991-2020', 'normals-daily-1991-2020']}

endDate (string, query, required)

End date in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss)

format (string, query, optional, default: json)

Output format

Constraints: {'enum': ['json', 'csv', 'ssv', 'pdf', 'netcdf']}

includeAttributes (boolean, query, optional)

Include data quality attributes

includeStationLocation (boolean, query, optional)

Include station coordinates in output

includeStationName (boolean, query, optional)

Include station name in output

startDate (string, query, required)

Start date in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss)

stations (string, query, optional)

Comma-separated list of station IDs (e.g., USC00457180,USW00014734). Required for most datasets except global-marine.

units (string, query, optional, default: metric)

Unit system for output values

Constraints: {'enum': ['metric', 'standard']}
