Retrieve complete hourly, daily or monthly observations at latitude/longitude. Hourly and daily require startDate/endDate; monthly requires startYear/endYear. Use nasa_power_search_parameters for codes and nasa_power_list_reference for presets. Large results return a full-table canvas handle and preview.
Retrieve complete monthly and annual climatology at latitude/longitude. Optionally supply both startYear and endYear; omitted years use the source product range. Use nasa_power_list_reference for presets and tilted solar aliases. All returned records remain inline, including orientation text.
Retrieve one parameter over ordered latitude/longitude bounds spanning 2–10 degrees per axis, at daily, monthly or climatology resolution. Split antimeridian regions into separate calls. Returns cell identities and separate per-period equal-weight cell statistics, not area-weighted estimates. Oversized results stage every row with a preview and canvas handle.
Compare 2–10 labeled coordinates with a shared parameter selection and window; climatology is the default resolution. Duplicate labels retain separate input-position identities. Returns per-site provenance and valid-only annual/seasonal summaries; operational site failures preserve successes. Optional numeric sort uses observation means, monthly annual records or climatology ANN, with nulls last and stable ties; differing or unknown units cannot sort. Oversized observations and summaries stage completely; summaryDatasets handles and summaryIndex preserve complete ordered summary arrays.
Find parameter codes supported by a community and temporalResolution. Every whitespace-separated filter token must match code, name or definition, ignoring case. Filtering covers the complete dictionary before sorted pagination. Blank filter browses all codes; pass returned codes to a producing tool.
Explain exact presets, communities and units, source coverage, missing values, wind corrections or current dataframe availability. Choose topic presets before a producing call, or coverage when revising a date window. Reference entries include public documentation and verification dates.
Inspect table schemas, physical units and original scientific provenance within a canvas_id returned by a producing POWER tool. Tokens are process-local capabilities; only the supplied canvas is inspected.
Run one read-only SELECT over tables in an explicitly supplied canvas_id. Inspect names and units with nasa_power_dataframe_describe. External files, imports, writes and system catalogs are refused. Returns at most 1,000 rows and 40,000 JSON characters; truncated rowCount counts only materialized rows.
