openclaw skills install metdata-nasa-accessFetch NASA POWER meteorological data for wind and solar energy analysis, output structured Excel files.
User provides a location name or coordinates, e.g.:
If user provides a location name, resolve to lat/lon using Nominatim geocoding:
curl -s -G "https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search" \
--data-urlencode "q=<LOCATION>" \
--data-urlencode "format=json" \
--data-urlencode "limit=1" \
-H "User-Agent: MetData-NASA-Access/1.0"
Parse JSON response to get lat and lon. If user already provides coordinates, skip this step.
Use the Python script at scripts/fetch_metdata.py:
python3 scripts/fetch_metdata.py \
--lat <LAT> \
--lon <LON> \
--start <YEAR> \
--end <YEAR> \
--output <OUTPUT_PATH>
Parameters:
--lat, --lon: Coordinates (required)--start, --end: Year range (default: 2016, 2017)--output: Excel output path (default: ~/.openclaw/workspace/output/metdata/)--params: Comma-separated custom parameter list (default: wind+ solar defaults)--granularity: monthly, daily, climatology, or all (default: all)Confirm the file path and summarize key findings (e.g., average wind speed, average solar irradiance).
