# Weather file repositories

In addition to the data from [Energy Plus](https://energyplus.net/weather) and [Climate.One.Building.org](http://climate.onebuilding.org/) CBE Clima Tool allows users to visualize any valid EPW file. Below we list some free sources from which climate files can be obtained.

The following sources will be divided according to:

* [Typical Meteorological Year](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typical_meteorological_year) (TMY), in which weather data are condensed into a year of the most usual conditions;
* [Actual Meteorological Year](https://d3pcsg2wjq9izr.cloudfront.net/files/41253/download/379637/TMY_and_AMY_Files.pdf) (AMY), aka actual hourly data sets over a year time period, put into the same formats as a TMY file.

**TMY repositories:**

* [Climate.OneBuilding](https://climate.onebuilding.org/);
* [EnergyPlus](https://energyplus.net/weather);
* European commission [Photovoltaic Geographical Information System](https://re.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pvg_tools/it/#TMY);
* [CSIRO](https://agdatashop.csiro.au/future-climate-predictive-weather) projected weather files for future climate scenarios for Australian locations;
* University of Exeter [Prometheus](https://engineering.exeter.ac.uk/research/cee/research/prometheus/termsandconditions/futureweatherfiles/), current and future weather files for British cities

**AMY repositories:**

* NASA [Power tool](https://power.larc.nasa.gov/data-access-viewer/);
* Pacific Northwest National Laboratory [diyepw tool](https://github.com/IMMM-SFA/diyepw) (given set of WMOs station)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cbe-berkeley.gitbook.io/clima/documentation/weather-file-repositories.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
