Abstract:
This dataset, from the National Climatic Data Center, was designed to provide solar energy users with quality-controlled hourly solar information along with collateral meteorological data in a single dataset. The major parameters that make up the dataset are extraterrestrial radiation, direct, diffuse, and net radiation, and global radiation. Several standard meteorological parameters are also included.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
