Tools (3)
AQUAVIEW is a comprehensive catalog of global oceanographic, atmospheric, and marine datasets from a variety of NOAA sources (e.g., GCOOS, WOD, IOOS), intended for scientific research, data analysis, and environmental monitoring. Search for AQUAVIEW datasets using a text query and/or a bounding box. Hint: When running this tool and user is asking for a region, it's better to use the 'bbox' parameter than including region name in the 'q' parameter. The 'bbox' parameter is a more accurate way to do this. As needed, try oterwise too. You must provide at least one of 'q' or 'bbox' for the initial search. For pagination, provide the 'cursor' and 'pit' values from the previous response in addition the initial search query. Args: q: A text search query (e.g., "sea surface temperature"). bbox: The bounding box as a comma-separated string: "lon_min,lat_min,lon_max,lat_max". size: The number of results to return, max 150. Defaults to 10. cursor: The pagination cursor from the previous response's 'next_cursor' field. pit: The Point-in-Time ID from the previous response for consistent pagination. output_format: Output format - "toon" (default, Token-Oriented Object Notation, 30-60% fewer tokens) or "json" (standard JSON format). Returns: Dataset search results in the specified format.
Fetch detailed information for a single AQUAVIEW dataset. Args: source: The source adapter for the dataset (e.g., "GCOOS", "WOD", "IOOS"). Key may be called "source_adapter", "source_id" etc. The convention is that it's all uppercase, and underscores if needed. This should have been provided to you alongside dataset ID. dataset_id: The unique identifier for the dataset. output_format: Output format - "toon" (default, Token-Oriented Object Notation, 30-60% fewer tokens) or "json" (standard JSON format). Returns: Detailed dataset information in the specified format.
Fetch the list of files for a single AQUAVIEW dataset. Args: source: The source adapter for the dataset (e.g., "GCOOS", "WOD", "IOOS"). dataset_id: The unique identifier for the dataset. output_format: Output format - "toon" (default, Token-Oriented Object Notation, 30-60% fewer tokens) or "json" (standard JSON format). Returns: Dataset file list in the specified format.
