A Global Typical Meteorological Year Database on ERA5 Dataset - DeST format

A global typical meteorological year (TMY) database covers 38,947 stations worldwide. Each typical meteorological year data file includes dry-bulb temperature (°C) and absolute humidity (g/kg air), dew point (°C), direct normal irradiance (W/m2), diffuse horizontal irradiance (W/m2), global horizontal irradiance (W/m2), pressure (Mbar), wind direction, wind speed (m/s), etc. at 1-hour intervals. The data is created with Chinese Standard Weather Database method to reflect the average level of historical weather based on the fifth-generation atmospheric reanalysis product released by the European Center (ERA5). The dataset is saved in a 55 GB database of compressed CSV files and uploaded to a website where users can obtain the required TMY data for certain cities according to the longitude and latitude information. This TMY-ERA5 dataset is fundamental and essential in building system designs of international construction projects, building performance simulation, etc. especially for some countries lacking ground meteorological stations or missing meteorological year data in the building profession. It can be used as references for other meteorological climate studies.
