Overall dataset statistics — date range, record count, and mean/min/max for every variable.
Example: /summary
Distinct buoy locations (latitude/longitude pairs rounded to 0.5°), with reading count per location.
Example: /locations
Monthly mean air temperature, sea-surface temperature, humidity, and winds across all buoys.
Optional year filter.
Example: /monthly-averages?year=1997
Readings come from the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) array — ~70 moored buoys
spanning the equatorial Pacific — collected by NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory.
Missing values are returned as null. Source: UCI KDD Archive.
