One Minute TMY Data Australia

One-Minute Typical Meteorological Year Data

The Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) dataset available on www.marcoernst.net is a derivative based on the Australian Bureau of Meteorology One Minute Solar and Weather data (BOM data). The BOM data was processed using the procedure published in M. Ernst and J. Gooday, “Methodology for Generating One Minute Resolution Typical Meteorological Year Data for Accurate Photovoltaic Energy Yield Modelling”, Solar Energy 189, 299–306 (2019). The program is available on . Please cite this publication if you are using this program or TMY dataset.

Please refer to the full Typical Meteorological Year Dataset Description and License Information for more information.

The TMY dataset is available for seven locations in Australia:
