Daily data update formats
The climate station daily data updates are provided as CSV files.
The CSV files contain daily aggregated climate station data and also include virtual (VCSN) data that can be used if station data has gaps.
The column 'Observation time UTC' refers to the preceding interval for the parameters Rain, Temperature, Wind, Radiation, Evaporation. More details on this in the following table.
| Parameter | Station Variables | VCSN data | Unit | Time (local time) | Notes |
| Rain | Total daily rainfall | Total daily rainfall | mm | 9am-9am | |
| Temperature |
Daily Max |
Daily Max |
DegC | 9am-9am | |
| Wind | Mean wind speed | Mean wind speed | m/s | 9am-9am | The interpolated VCSN data is for period 00:00-24:00 |
| Radiation | Total global radiation | Total global radiation | MJ/m2 | 00:00-24:00 | |
| Evaporation | Total Priestly- Taylor Total Penman |
Total Penman | mm | 9am-9am | |
| Pressure | Mean Sea Level Pressure | Mean Sea Level Pressure | hPa | 9am | This is an instantaneous parameter |
