DATAPACKAGE: WEATHER DATA =========================================================================== https://doi.org/10.25832/weather_data/2020-09-16 by Open Power System Data: http://www.open-power-system-data.org/ Package Version: 2020-09-16 Hourly geographically aggregated weather data for Europe This data package contains radiation and temperature data, at hourly resolution, for Europe, aggregated by Renewables.ninja from the NASA MERRA-2 reanalysis. It covers the European countries using a population-weighted mean across all MERRA-2 grid cells within the given country. The data package covers the geographical region of Europe. We follow the Data Package standard by the Frictionless Data project, a part of the Open Knowledge Foundation: http://frictionlessdata.io/ Documentation and script =========================================================================== This README only contains the most basic information about the data package.
