temperature_air_mean_2m

air_temperature

Air temperature (default 2 m above ground), present value

degree_celsius

temperature_dew_point_mean_2m

dew_point_temperature

Dew-point temperature - the temperature at which the air, when cooled, will become saturated (and dew is formed)

degree_celsius

humidity

relative_humidity

Relative humidity

percent

wind_speed

wind_speed

Mean wind speed is registered as a mean value of the wind speed over the last ten minutes before the observation time. (default: 10 meters above ground, some stations have measurements at 2 meters)

meter_per_second

wind_direction

wind_from_direction

Mean wind direction over the last ten minutes before the observation time. Wind direction is defined as the direction from which the wind blows and is registered in degrees, where 360 degrees is north and 90 degrees is east.

degree

pressure_air_sea_level

air_pressure_at_sea_level

Air pressure reduced to mean sea level. The parameter is usually called QFF in aviation and shows the measured air pressure reduced to mean sea level by applying actual atmospheric conditions.

hectopascal

pressure_air_site

surface_air_pressure

Air pressure at the station. The parameter is usually called QFE in aviation and shows the measured air pressure reduced to the reference height of the station.

hectopascal

cloud_cover_total

cloud_area_fraction

Total cloud cover is registered using a code 0 - 8 describing how many eights of the sky are covered by clouds (0 = no clouds, 8 = completely overcast). Code -3 or 9 means the cloud cover cannot be estimated because the sky is obstructed from view by fog, drifting snow and the like; both are returned as null.

one_eighth

radiation_global_intensity

mean(surface_downwelling_shortwave_flux_in_air PT1H)

Hourly mean global radiation. Global radiation is the total downwelling shortwave radiation from the sun. Shortwave radiation have wavelengths in the area 295-2800 nm and therefore includes ultraviolet, visible and infrared light. The instrument measures the radiation flux through a horizontal surface (W/m2).

watt_per_square_meter

precipitation_height

sum(precipitation_amount PT1H)

Amount of precipitation per hour

millimeter

snow_depth

surface_snow_thickness

The depth of the snow is measured in cm from the ground to the top of the snow cover. Code -1 means no snow, and is returned as a depth of 0.
