SOLAR MONITOR MONTHLY AVERAGE MEASUREMENTS 2013-03 SAUDI ARABIA K.A.CARE

This network includes ground-based measurements for approximately 50 stations in the Renewable Resource Monitoring and Mapping (RRMM) Solar Radiation Monitoring Network. The current stations provide one-minute resolution data for three solar components, along with temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, and barometric pressure. The network began with three stations in January 2013, and additional stations were added in May and June of that year. Additional stations of the same design are being added, and a group of higher tier research quality stations will be added in the second half of 2013 and in early 2014.

Solar data is collected at various temporal resolutions: 1-minute, hourly, daily, monthly, and annual averages of 3-second samples for all solar and meteorological components are collected at each station. IRENA has access to monthly data only. Other resolutions are available for purchase directly from K.A.CARE.
