• summary: Scientific data provided by ENERGY-Lab located at the University of La Reunion. These data come from solar and meteorological stations present in the following territories: La Reunion, Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius and Seychelles. A THREDDS Data Server was created as part of the IOS-net (Indian Ocean Solar Network, https://galilee.univ-reunion.fr) project which aims to study the solar field and the optimisation of intelligent solar energy systems in the countries of the IOC (Indian Ocean Commission). These data are served by Unidata's Thematic Realtime Environmental Distributed Data Services (THREDDS) Data Server (TDS) in a variety of interoperable data services and output formats.
