ITER has a series of weather stations that measure meteorological parameters of wind, solar radiation, humidity and temperature.<\/p>\n

The Meteorological Station \u201cTorre\u201d<\/strong> is located at UTM coordinates 351180.54-3105916.74 at an elevation of 34 meters above sea level. All sensors are placed along a metal lattice tower of approximately 45 meters high. At the top of the tower, coinciding with the height of the wind turbine hub, is the WindSonic sonic sensor that measures wind direction and speed. The remaining sensors (cup anemometer, wind vane, and humidity and temperature sensors) are located at a height of 25 meters. <\/p>\n

On the other hand, the SOLTEN Weather Station<\/strong> is located at UTM coordinates 350115.35-3106285.03 at an elevation of 103 meters above sea level. It is a deck-mounted station equipped with an Anemometer\/ vane, Thermo-hygrometer, LM35 temperature sensor, Pyranometer and sensor for the estimation of dirt. <\/p>\n

Both stations are connected in real time to the ITER data service and are available for public consultation through the ClimaTenerife<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

Additionally, ITER has implemented a weather forecasting system to improve the management of its renewable energy facilities. The predictions are calculated day by day in ITER’s Teide supercomputer using the WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) numerical weather prediction model. This work is carried out in collaboration with the Group of Earth and Atmosphere Observation (GOTA) belonging to the University of La Laguna. <\/p>\n

You can consult the weather forecasts calculated by ITER for today and for the next two days, both in graphs and in video, through the Meteo TeideHPC<\/a> section.<\/p>\n

The Climatological Services<\/a> section provides detailed information on the meteorological variables collected by the two stations and by the forecasting system and the corresponding data series.<\/p>\n

If you wish to make a request for historical data, as well as any query related to the stations, weather data or the weather forecast service, access the REQUEST<\/strong> section in the side menu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
