status-intensity
Retrieve raw, unprocessed observation records showing daily phenological status and intensity for individual plants and animals.
Instructions
About the tool: Retrieves raw, unprocessed observation records from citizen and professional scientists documenting day-by-day phenological status (yes/no) and intensity measurements for individual plants and animal species. Each record represents a single observation event showing whether specific phenophases (like 'breaking leaf buds' or 'full bloom') were occurring on a particular date for a specific individual organism at a monitoring site.
When to use: Only for detailed analysis of specific observation events, quality control, or when you need the granular day-to-day data that underlies the aggregated metrics. Most users should use Individual, Site, or Magnitude Phenometrics instead.
Key applications: Data validation, understanding observer reporting patterns, analyzing day-to-day phenological transitions, custom aggregations not available in other tools. Performance warning: This tool can return massive datasets (potentially millions of records). Always limit queries to small date ranges (≤30 days recommended) and specific geographic areas or species to prevent system crashes. Use aggregated tools (Individual/Site/Magnitude Phenometrics) for broader analyses.
Data interpretation: Values of -9999 represent missing/null data. Records include observation date, individual ID, phenophase status, intensity measurements, and site metadata.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| start_date | Yes | Start date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Must be used with end_date. | |
| end_date | Yes | End date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Must be used with start_date. | |
| bottom_left_x1 | No | X coordinate of the bottom left corner for bounding box filtering. | |
| bottom_left_y1 | No | Y coordinate of the bottom left corner for bounding box filtering. | |
| upper_right_x2 | No | X coordinate of the upper right corner for bounding box filtering. | |
| upper_right_y2 | No | Y coordinate of the upper right corner for bounding box filtering. | |
| species_id | No | Unique species identifier. | |
| station_id | No | Unique identifier associated with an observer’s location. | |
| species_type | No | Species type(s) the organism belongs to. Must match values from getAnimalTypes and getPlantTypes. | |
| network | No | Name of the network(s)/group(s) where the organism is observed. Must match values from getPartnerNetworks. | |
| state | No | State where the observation occurred. Uses two-character postal abbreviation. | |
| phenophase_category | No | Phenophase category. Must match values from getPhenophase. | |
| phenophase_id | No | Unique identifier of the phenophase. | |
| functional_type | No | Functional types of the species. Must match values from getSpeciesFunctionalTypes. | |
| climate_data | No | Flag to indicate whether all climate data fields should be returned. Accepts 0 or 1. Almost always beneficial to see climate data in relation to phenometric data. | |
| additional_field | No | Additional fields to include in output. |
