Documentation for /cgi-bin/request/asos1min.py
This service provides the ASOS 1 minute data provided by NCEI and is not the "one minute data" via MADIS. There is an availability delay of about 24 hours due to the way NCEI collects the data from the ASOS sites.
Examples
Request air temperature data for Ames IA KAMW for 2022, but only provide data at 1 hour intervals. Provide timestamps in UTC timezone.
