Problem Downloading 36 years Climate Data using the POWER Regional Data Access

First of all, thank you very much for the awesome work you are doing, it has been very useful for research work in Data scarce regions like Africa.

I have been trying to download daily Precipitation, Temperature, Relative Humidity, Wind and Solar Agroclimatology data from Jan 1984 to Dec 2020 over the region 6.01783, -2.7769, 7.76832, -1.7002 in a CSV format but I keep getting the notification ' Invalid input specified: please specify a a Date range of less then or equal to 366 days.'. The only Date range that seems to be working for me is Jan 2020 to April 2020. Meanwhile, I have previously downloaded Precipitation data from 1981 to 2020 and didn't encounter this problem.

I would be very grateful if you could help me resolve this problem. Thank you for your time.

Dear user,

I was not able to replicate your issue.
When entering all of your parameters in the "POWER Access Viewer", I was able to obtain the CSV file.
https://power.larc.nasa.gov/data-access-viewer/
However, since the tool limits the search to 20 parameters at a time, I selected the agroclimatology parameters in a second search.


Please let us know if this solution helps,

Thank you for your answer.

My problem was with the Regional data access as indicated in my earlier post.

But I have since found out that the regional data access has a limit of 366 days. Since I intend to use it in a SWAT model which requires grid data, I have decided to form my own grid and download the point data at the nodes.

Thank you once again.
