# Daily Climate Data for U.S. Power Plants (NASA POWER, 2022–2023)

This dataset contains daily climate variables for a sample of 50 U.S. power plants, obtained from the NASA POWER API for the period 2022-01-01 through 2023-12-31.

Climate variables include daily average, maximum, and minimum temperature, as well as precipitation.

## Contents

Each row represents a single plant-day combination (36,500 rows total).

### Variables

| Column     | Description                    |
| ---------- | ------------------------------ |
| date       | Observation date (YYYY-MM-DD)  |
| plant_code | EIA plant identifier           |
| latitude   | Plant latitude                 |
| longitude  | Plant longitude                |
| temp_avg_c | Daily average temperature (°C) |
| temp_max_c | Daily maximum temperature (°C) |
| temp_min_c | Daily minimum temperature (°C) |
| precip_mm  | Daily precipitation (mm)       |

## Processing Notes

* Climate variables were downloaded using the NASA POWER daily point endpoint.
* A random sample of 50 plants from the full registry was selected.
* All timestamps were converted to UTC date format.
* Missing or unavailable climate records were omitted.
