[Equest-users] Weather Data file for Nigeria

[Joe Huang]

There is a "typical year" weather file for Lagos 
(NGA_LAGOS-IKEJA_652010_TYP) available at the White Box Technologies web 
site (see url below in my signature).   This file is derived from the 
Integrated Surface Hourly Database (ISD),  an archive of weather station 
reports around the world maintained by the US National  Center for 
Environmental Information (NCEI). The data for Lagos Ikeja Airport 
extends over 15 years of observations averaging once every two hours.  
WBT has also added hourly solar data derived from an EU weather 
satellite, making this weather file the most accurate  and reliable 
possible under current technology.   WBT is a private venture 
unsupported by any outside sources, so our products are not free. The 
cost for a TYP weather file is $85.  If you're interested in historical 
weather data, those are also available for over 8,000 locations around 
the world starting in 2001.

One last point is that, unlike some other sources, WBT weather data come 
in multiple formats include *.BINM for DOE-2/eQUEST, *.epw for 
EnergyPlus,  as well as *.FIN4 text for use with Excel.
