AI agent for meteorologists
Monthly Climate Summary Agent
An accurate, timely monthly climate summary
What it does
Each month, offices publish climate summaries comparing temperature and precipitation with normals and records. Pulling and checking the data by hand takes hours. This agent pulls station data, checks for missing days and suspect values, and computes departures from normal. If a station has gaps or suspect values, it requests fixes or marks the station incomplete. It compares values with the station record books and flags possible new records for confirmation before anything is called a record. It then drafts the summary text, tables and a short note on notable events, such as heat waves or heavy rain days. You approve the summary before it is published. Edge case: a station with more than the allowed number of missing days is marked incomplete and left out of the record comparisons.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
