ANNOUNCEMENT: WEATHER
DATA
New “typical
year” weather files for 119 Mexican
locations now available
MX2015 is
a new set of “typical
year” weather
files for 119 Mexican locations produced using the same raw
data source, i.e.,
NCEI’s (formerly NCDC) Integrated Surface Hourly Database
(ISD), and software
method used in creating the IWEC2 weather files. The 119
locations represents
all the weather stations in Mexico with at least eight years
of data in the 15-year
period 2001-2015 judged of
sufficient data density to produce hourly weather files. Following a procedure
first tested in 2012
for California’s CZ2010 weather files, WBT is also importing
satellite-derived
solar radiation data from NREL’s National Solar Radiation Data
Base. Therefore,
the data quality of the MX2015 files should match that of any
other
currently available data set.
This work
was motivated in large part by Dr. Christopher Heard of the
Universidad
Autonoma Metropolitana, who had asked WBT to archive all
available weather data
going back to 1975 as part of a research study on Climate
Change in Mexico.
The entire set of 119 weather files can be purchased online for $150 (BINM), $175 (EPW), $225 (both). Individual MX2015 files are also available for $35 each. Although the files were uploaded in early November, the weather.whiteboxtechnologies.com web site is currently being upgraded, so until Jan. 1, 2017 please send any questions or requests to yjhuang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
