Climate data

Starting in May 2025, the Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSwiss is gradually making its data accessible as Open Government Data (OGD). The available data can either be downloaded manually or obtained automatically as files.

Open Data

Precipitation data

Until April 2025 the library had a subscription to data on precipitation, evapotranspiration, and water balance provided by MeteoSwiss as monthly and annual bulletins (data format: Excel-files, 2011-2019 also PDF).

Please note: These documents are only available within the network of the four Research Institutes!

Radiation data

Until 2020, the library subscribed to effective radiation data ESTRADA (Effektive Strahlungs-Daten) for the location St. Gallen provided by the energiebüro ag (data format: PDF). As of 2021, their service was discontinued and new data are no longer available.
