Where can I find TMY3 data?

The TMY3 data are available for download via the World Wide Web. Data may be accessed at http://rredc.nrel.gov/solar/old_data/nsrdb/1991-2005/tmy3.

What is TMY3 data?

TMY stands for “typical meteorological year” and is a widely used type of data available through the NSRDB. TMYs contain one year of hourly data that best represents median weather conditions over a multiyear period.

How do I get TMY data?

To determine TMY data, various meteorological measurements are made at hourly intervals over a number of years to build up a picture of the local climate. A simple average of the yearly data underestimates the amount of variability, so the month that is most representative of the location is selected.

What is the main difference between a TMY a TMY2 and a TMY3 climate file?

TMY2 data files were created from the 1961–1990 NSRDB, in which 93% of the values were modeled. TMY3 data files were created from 1991–2005 NSRDB data plus 1961–1990 NSRDB data if they existed for that location. For the TMY2 data files, the DNI was added to the weighting indices.

What is the full form of TMY?

TMY Stands For Typical Meteorological Year| Third Medical Year.

How is TMY calculated?

TMY implementation starts by calculating the average value of the data for the entire time period we have. Then we calculate the average value per month of data. The goal is to average the full datasheet as close as possible to monthly average values over the years.

What are NASA’s powers?

Astronauts in orbit conduct scientific research. Satellites help scientists learn more about Earth. Space probes study the solar system and beyond. New developments improve air travel and other aspects of flight.

How do I cite NASA power data?
