Hourly solar radiation in Langleys and associated three-digit data-source flag, January 1, 1948 - September 30, 2016

This text file "Solar radiation.txt" contains hourly data in Langleys and associated data-source flag from January 1, 1948, to September 30, 2016. The primary source of the data is the Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois. The data-source flag consist of a three-digit sequence in the form "xyz" that describe the origin and transformations of the data values. They indicate if the data are original or missing, the method that was used to fill the missing periods, and any other transformations of the data. Bera (2014) describes in detail an addition of a new data-source flag based on the regression analysis of the backup data series at St. Charles (STC) for water years (WY) 2008-10. The user of the data should consult Over and others (2010) and Bera (2014) for the detailed documentation of the data-source flag.
