Tools

• ndbc_latest_obs ~193 tokens
  Latest observed marine conditions at an NDBC station — significant wave height, dominant and average wave period, mean wave direction, wind speed/direction/gust, sea-surface and air temperature, barometric pressure and its 3-hour tendency. These are MEASURED values from a buoy, not a forecast; PREFE
• ndbc_station_history ~236 tokens
  Recent observation time series for one NDBC station — up to the last ~45 days of standard meteorological rows at the station reporting interval (usually every 10 minutes for buoys, hourly for some partners). Use for trends: "how has wave height changed this week", "was there a wind event on the 3rd"
• ndbc_stations ~461 tokens
  List active NOAA National Data Buoy Center stations — moored buoys, coastal C-MAN sites, tsunami DART stations and partner platforms — filtered by bounding box, name, owner, type or the measurements they carry. AUTHORITATIVE for "which buoy is nearest X" and for finding the station id that ndbc_late
