Solar radiation observations
This API provides solar radiation observations recorded every minute at the Finnish Meteorological Institute's observation stations across Finland. Measured short-wave radiation quantities include total, direct, reflected and scattered radiation, as well as radiation balance. Long-wave radiation quantities cover outgoing radiation and counter-radiation. The dataset also includes observation values for sunshine duration and ultraviolet (UVB) radiation, offering detailed national-scale environmental and meteorological monitoring data with no authentication required for access.The data includes the observation values of short-wave and long-wave solar radiation measured at the Finnish Meteorological Institute's observation stations every minute. Short-wave radiation quantities include total radiation, direct radiation, reflected radiation, scattered radiation and radiation balance. Long-wave radiation quantities are out-radiation and counter-radiation. In addition, the data includes observation values for the duration of sunshine and ultraviolet radiation (UVB).
