Climate Indicators API

The Climate Indicators API returns an ASHRAE-like Climate Indicators Report from a custom location and time range.

Additional Data Specifications: - All parameters are available in their original source spatial resolution. - A request computes 120+ parameters at three different Temporal levels. - Solar parameters are derived from NASA's GEWEX SRB R4-IP archive (Jan. 1, 1984 – Dec. 31, 2000), CERES SYN1deg archive (Jan. 1, 2001 – within a few months of real time), and NASA’s CERES FLASHFlux project (End of CERES – within about 7-days of real time). - Meteorological parameters are derived from NASA's GMAO MERRA-2 assimilation model.
