Forecast & Gridded

Tool	Title	Description
`ath_forecast`	Forecast Data	7-day weather forecast (NOAA GFS, 15km CONUS / 30km global). Use geolocator first for coordinates.
`gridded_15km_available_variables`	Gridded Data - Variables	Lists variables available in Athenium's ERA5 global gridded 15 kilometer resolution atmospheric dataset.
`gridded_history_15km`	Gridded Weather - Global 15km	Global 15km gridded weather history (ERA5 + NOAA GFS). Use geolocator first for coordinates.
`gridded_history_location_2km`	Gridded Weather - CONUS 2km	Preferred tool for CONUS temperature and wind history — higher resolution (2km) and purpose-built
`precipitation_location`	Gridded Precipitation	High-resolution precipitation data (1km/4km/8km). Use geolocator first for coordinates.

Station Observations

Tool	Title	Description
`station_available_variables`	Station Data - Variables	Lists available station data variables and field packages. Free, no credits.
`station_climate_normals`	Station Data - Climate Normals	10- or 30-year climate normals. Use station_search first for station IDs, or geolocator for coordinates.
`station_historical_data`	Station Historical Data	Historical weather station data. Returns METAR/SYNOP-derived weather observations for a single station.
`station_search`	Station Search	Search for weather stations by text, coordinates, or region. Use geolocator first for coordinate searches.

Severe Weather

Tool	Title	Description
`severe_weather_contours_radius`	Storm Data - Area Radius	Severe weather contours within a radius as GeoJSON. Use geolocator first for coordinates.
`severe_weather_contours_summary`	Storm Data - Area Summary	Summarizes severe weather contours for a date without full GeoJSON. Use before contours_radius.
`severe_weather_daily_analysis`	Storm Data - Daily Overview	Nationwide daily severe weather digest — ideal entry point before drilling into contours or point data.
`severe_weather_event_location`	Storm Data - Multi-Peril Event	Point-scale severe weather events at a CONUS location. Use geolocator first for coordinates.
`severe_weather_history_location`	Storm Data - History	Long-term severe weather history at a CONUS point. Use geolocator first for coordinates.
`severe_weather_location_1km`	Storm Data - CONUS 1km	1km CONUS severe weather history (HAIL or TORNADIC_STORM). Use geolocator first for coordinates.
`severe_weather_multiday_area`	Storm Data - Outbreak Analysis	Multi-day severe weather time series for outbreak and trend analysis.
`severe_weather_multiday_intensity`	Severe Weather Multiday Analysis	Multi-day severe weather intensity analysis from contour data. CONUS.
`severe_weather_spc_reports`	Storm Data - SPC Reports	NOAA SPC ground-truth storm reports. Use to verify radar-derived contour data. One peril per call.

Tropical Cyclones

Tool	Title	Description
`active_tropical_cyclones`	Active Tropical Cyclones	Lists tropical cyclones active at a given time. Call first to get storm IDs for tropical_cyclone_forecast.
`generate_hurricane_quicklook`	Hurricane Forecast Map	Generates interactive hurricane forecast map with wind swath and track.
`tropical_cyclone_forecast`	Hurricane Forecast Data	Tropical cyclone forecast track and swath. Use active_tropical_cyclones first for storm IDs.

Risk Scoring

Tool	Title	Description
`location_flood_risk`	Flood Risk	Flood risk scores (0-10) for CONUS locations. Use geolocator first for coordinates.
`location_roof_damage_risk_hail`	Roof Damage Risk	Estimates roof hail damage risk and expected repair cost for a single location. Requires roofing material, square footage, building year, and roof complexity. Returns a damage risk score, estimated repair cost, and hail exposure metrics.
`location_weather_risk`	Weather Risk	Weather risk scores (0-10) for CONUS locations. Use geolocator first for coordinates.
`location_wildfire_risk`	Wildfire Risk	Wildfire risk scores (0-10) for CONUS locations. Use geolocator first for coordinates.

Location Intelligence

Tool	Title	Description
`geolocator`	Geolocator	Convert addresses/place names to coordinates, or reverse geocode coordinates to addresses.
`location_elevation`	Elevation	Gets elevation for one or more locations. Use geolocator first for coordinates.
`location_property_data`	Property Data	U.S. property characteristics and tax assessment data from county records.

Visualization

Tool	Title	Description
`generate_severe_weather_quicklook`	Severe Weather Map	Generates interactive severe weather contour map. Use geolocator for center coordinates.
