| − | Weather data can be used to generate profiles for wind, solar and hydro power plants. Re-analysis or “hindcast” projects use state-of the art weather forecast models with long time series of weather observations. They create consistent series of weather data, often of decades and with a global scope. [http://reanalyses.org/ Reanalysis.org] and [https://climatedataguide.ucar.edu/climate-data NCAR] provide a helpful overview of re-analysis models. Data are usually provided in GRIB or NetCDF format and can be very large in size (100s of GB).

The repository [https://github.com/openmundi/world.db openmundi/world.db] shows a more data-focused way of using Git, or GitHub, for a collaborative collection of data. However, it clearly shows the limitations of using a version control system for code on data. |
