This Connector connects your agent to official NOAA sources, giving you a direct line to everything from aviation METARs and TAFs to space weather alerts and long-term climate trends. If you need to know the current water temperature at a specific coastal station, the 30-year climate baseline for a region, or the probability of a visible aurora tonight, this Connector handles the requests. It removes the friction of manual data collection for meteorology, maritime logistics, and aerospace monitoring. You can find this Connector in the Vinkius catalog, where it serves as a primary resource for anyone who needs reliable, real-time environmental intelligence integrated directly into their agent's capabilities. ## Tools ### get_active_alerts Get active weather alerts filtered by state, severity, urgency, or event type.
