Provision of meteorological observation services

ITER has an important history of meteorological data (since June 2011) available to users through a request process. The following table details the type of data we work with and its cost:

The meteorological variables collected by the two stations are as follows:

• Tower Station: Wind speed at 25 and 45 meters height (instantaneous, average, minimum and maximum value), wind direction at 25 and 45 meters height, ambient temperature and relative humidity.
• SOLTEN station: Wind speed (average, minimum and maximum value), Wind direction, Radiation (maximum, minimum and average value), Ambient temperature and Relative humidity.

Data can be requested in spreadsheet format (Excel) or in tables in a text document (Word). The data will be sent by e-mail. In the event that the size of the files is too large to be sent by e-mail, an Internet address will be provided from which the files can be downloaded for a limited time.

Instant weather data are available at the ClimaTenerife ClimaTenerife and the weather forecasts calculated by ITER for today and for the next two days, both in graphs and in video, through the Weather Forecasts section.

Benefit claim

The request for meteorological data from ITER stations will be made through the REQUEST section, indicating the meteorological variables of interest, the type of data (tenminutal, hourly, etc.) and the start and end date of the history.

There is the possibility of contracting a weather forecasting service adapted to your needs. The weather forecasts calculated in ITER’s Teide-HPC supercomputer include wind speed and direction, irradiance, temperature, relative humidity and precipitation.
