Datasets & Variables

Notes:

  • Please use the metadata/dataset_dates endpoint to find valid date ranges for the dataset

  • We currently have a number of forecast datasets (“CFS_GRIDMET”, “FRET”, “GEPS_2WK”, “GEPS_4WK”). These can be accessed through the forecast endpoints, e.g. raster/mapid/forecast/standard_index.

  • We currently have some static datasets available (“WRC”, “EH”, “CDOUTLOOOK”, “USDOUTLOOK”). These can be accessedv through the zonal_stats/value endpoints, e.g zonal_stats/value/climate_engine_asset.
