[GRASS-user] climate data

[marcos boullón magán]

Hi,

Also check http://www.gaisma.com/en/

It provides info enough for large/medium locations: latitude,
longitude, time zone, local time, sunrise, sunset, dawn and dusk times
(table & graph), sun path diagram, insolation (kWh/m²/day), clearness
(0 - 1), temperature (°C) and wind speed (m/s).

>From the website:
"(...)Solar energy and surface meteorology data source: NASA Langley
Research Center Atmospheric Science Data Center
Accurac: Sunrise and sunset calculations are based on the algorithms
shown on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Surface
Radiation Research Branch web site. For latitudes less than 72° north
and south, accuracy is approximately one minute. For latitudes greater
than 72° north or less than 72° south calculations are accurate to
within 10 minutes."
