Dear Rene

To get Australian data, you can go to this site.
http://www.bom.gov.au/watl/eto/

Click on a state, then a station and you will get a table which has the following fields:
Date
Evapotranspiration (mm) 0000- 2400
Rain (mm) 0900- 0900
Pan Evaporation (mm) 0900- 0900
Max Temp	
Min Temp	
Max Rel Hum (%)	
Min Rel Hum (%)	
Average 10m Wind Speed (m/sec)	
Solar Radiation (MJ/sq m)

example
01/04/2015	5.0	0.0	 null	29.5	10.4	67	26	3.64	14.59
02/04/2015	4.8	0.2	 null	20.0	11.3	75	27	6.57	18.37
03/04/2015	4.4	0.0	 null 	21.9	6.2	81	25	4.71	18.04

Evapotranspiration is calculated from FAO 56. Solar radiation is estimated from satellite data.
Basically every AWS has this data available.

All the best
Karl

Subject: [Agromet-L] Sample worldwide radiation data

Dear colleagues

I am looking for some recent (= post-2000) daily radiation data of the type that is used as inputs in crop models next to Tx, Tn and rainfall. 
Does anyone know if there is a "repository" somewhere? Eight to ten station.year collections would do, but they should ideally come from different climatic zones, covering equatorial to temperate.

Many thanks for any inputs

R.
