• noaa_get_water_levels

  Get observed water levels from a NOAA tide station as a time series. Choose the interval: "6" = standard 6-minute observations (preliminary or verified, max 31 days per request), "1" = 1-minute preliminary data (max 4 days), "hourly" = verified hourly heights (max 1 year)…

• noaa_get_water_level_summaries

  Get verified summary water-level products from a NOAA station: - high_low: each day's observed highs/lows with ty = HH (higher high), H, L, LL (lower low). Max 1 year per request. - daily_mean: daily mean levels — GREAT LAKES STATIONS ONLY; NOAA requires local standard time…

• noaa_get_tide_predictions

  Get NOAA harmonic tide predictions (future or past) for a station. interval="hilo" (recommended for "when is high/low tide") returns the daily tide events with type H/L — up to 10 years per request. Other intervals (h, 1, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 60 minutes) return a height time…

• noaa_get_currents

  Get observed current speed and direction from a NOAA current meter station. Current stations use alphanumeric IDs (e.g. "cb0102" Chesapeake, "bh0101" Boston Harbor) — NOT the 7-digit water-level station IDs. Find them with noaa_search_stations (type "currents") or…

• noaa_get_current_predictions

  Get predicted tidal currents for a NOAA current prediction station. interval="max_slack" (recommended for navigation) returns the tidal-current events — maximum flood, maximum ebb, and slack water times — up to 1 year per request. Other intervals (h, 1, 6, 10, 30, 60 minutes)…

• noaa_get_meteorological_data

  Get observed meteorological/oceanographic sensor data from a NOAA station. Products: air_temperature, water_temperature, wind (speed/gust/direction), air_pressure, air_gap (bridge clearance to water surface), conductivity, visibility, humidity, salinity. Units by system: temps…

• noaa_search_stations

  Search the NOAA CO-OPS station directory by capability type, name, and/or state. Filter with: - type: what the station does (waterlevels, tidepredictions, currents, currentpredictions, met, ...) — pick the type matching the data you plan to request. - name: case-insensitive…

• noaa_find_nearest_stations

  Find the NOAA stations closest to a latitude/longitude point, sorted by distance. Use this to answer "what's the tide station near <place>?" — geocode the place to coordinates first, then call this. Filter by type to match the data you need (e.g. type "tidepredictions" before…

• noaa_get_station_info

  Get a NOAA station's full metadata record: location, state, time zone, tide type, Great Lakes flag, capability flags, and links to available sub-resources. Optionally expand sub-resources inline via the "expand" list: - details (established/removed dates), sensors (installed…

• noaa_get_station_datums

  Get the accepted tidal datum values for a station: the elevations of MHHW, MHW, MTL, MSL, DTL, MLW, MLLW, STND, NAVD88 (where computed), plus GT (great diurnal range), MN (mean range), LAT/HAT (lowest/highest astronomical tide), and the station's historical extreme min/max water…

• noaa_get_harmonic_constituents

  Get the harmonic constituents NOAA uses to compute tide or current predictions at a station — the amplitude, phase, and angular speed of each tidal constituent (M2, S2, N2, K1, O1, ...). For water-level stations: amplitude (feet/meters), phase_GMT and phase_local (degrees)…

• noaa_get_prediction_offsets

  Get the offsets a subordinate (type "S") prediction station applies to its reference station's predictions. kind "tide": returns refStationId, time offsets for high/low tide (minutes), height offsets for high/low tide, and whether the height adjustment is a ratio (multiplied)…

• noaa_get_sea_level_trends

  Get the long-term relative sea level trend at a NOAA station: trend and error (reported by NOAA in mm/yr or inches/decade — the payload's trendUnits field says which), the observation period (startDate/endDate), and seasonal amplitude. Relative sea level combines ocean rise AND…

• noaa_get_sea_level_rise_projections

  Get NOAA's Interagency Sea Level Rise Scenario projections for a station (from the 2022 technical report): projected relative sea level (meters or feet, see units field) per decade through 2150 under the chosen scenario. Scenarios: low, intermediate-low, intermediate…

• noaa_get_extreme_water_levels

  Get NOAA's extreme water level exceedance statistics for a station: the annual exceedance probability levels (e.g. the 1%-annual-chance "100-year" level) and historical extreme events, computed from the station's verified record. Use for flood risk questions ("what water level…

• noaa_get_top_ten_water_levels

  Get a station's highest recorded water levels: analysis "toptenwaterlevels" returns the ten highest events on record (with date, height, causal event name like "Great New England Hurricane", and category); "peakwaterlevels" returns peak event records (optionally filtered by…

• noaa_get_high_tide_flooding

  Get NOAA high tide flooding (HTF, "nuisance"/"sunny day" flooding) statistics for a station. Reports: - daily: flood occurrence per day (REQUIRES start_date and end_date, YYYYMMDD) - monthly / seasonal / annual: counts of minor/moderate/major flood days per period (filter with…

• astro_get_moon_phase

  Get the moon phase for a date (or each day of a date range if end_date is given): phase name (New Moon, Waxing Crescent, ...), illuminated fraction, age in days within the 29.53-day cycle, distance (km), apparent diameter (degrees), and waxing/waning. Tide context: spring tides…

• astro_get_next_moon_phase

  Find the date(s) of the next occurrence(s) of a principal moon phase (New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, Last Quarter) from a starting date. Use for: "when is the next full moon?", planning around spring tides (which follow new/full moons by 1–2 days).

• astro_get_sun_times

  Get sunrise, sunset, solar noon, dawn/dusk (civil), nautical dawn/dusk, astronomical dawn/dusk, golden hour, and day length for a location and date (or each day of a range if end_date is given). Times are ISO UTC unless an IANA timezone is provided. At high latitudes some…

• astro_get_sun_position

  Get the sun's position for a date, time, and location: azimuth (degrees clockwise from north as rendered here), altitude above the horizon (degrees), plus approximate declination and right ascension. Use for: shadow/lighting analysis, solar exposure. Computed locally with…

  Find the next occurrence(s) of a sun event (sunrise, sunset, dawn, dusk, solarNoon, night, nightEnd, goldenHourStart, goldenHourEnd, nauticalDawn, nauticalDusk, astronomicalDawn, astronomicalDusk) at a location from a starting date. Use for: "when is sunset today?", planning…
