Monthly means of the same parameters as the NASA POWER daily series, over the full depth available from the producer.

Same start dates per parameter: weather from 1981, global and diffuse radiation from 1984, direct radiation, clearness index and albedo from 2001.

Coverage by measure

Years with values for each measure; not all of them start at the same time at the producer.
