Temperature per specific date as a function of latitude and longitude?
Show older comments
Can anyone help me pull temperature based on specific dates, latitudes, and longitudes? For instance, what was the tempearture on Jan 15, 2020, at 38.9072° N, 77.0369° W?
I have a large number of quieries like this and need an efficient way to pull the data.
Thanks!

What is your data source?

(S?)He's asking for how you have the data you're trying to query...we can't see your terminal from here...
You've told us you have a spreadsheet; what we don't have as any idea whatsoever as to how it is constructed.
Attaching a representative piece of it would be one way, reading it as a table variable and attaching the resulting .mat file thereof another, just a text list of a few lines with column headings perhaps enough...

MJ, I removed my answer about sunrise/sunset after I realized I was addressing the wrong question. Woops!

I'm assuming you have temperature data for a bunch of (latitude, longitude) and date values (3D array?).
To address your question, you can use ismembertol to match the latitude and longitude values with your reference values. ismembertol will match values that are close enough given the tolerance level. Then match the dates which may need to be adjusted to removed the time-part so that you're only working with dates.
We can't get too specific without having more detail about your data, how it's arranges, its precision, etc.

AN example
ii = 1:10;
str = sprintf('f%d ',ii);
str = strsplit(str,' ');
str(end) = [];
A = table(str',ii',ii'+3,...
'VariableNames',{'data' 'N' 'W'})
c1 = strcmp(A.data,'f2'); % find data 'f2'
c2 = abs(A.N-2) < 0.01; % find latitude '2'
c3 = abs(A.W-5) < 0.01; % find longitude '5'
ix = find(c1 & c2 & c3)
