The WMO Guide to Meteorological Instruments and Methods of Observation (WMO No. 8) recommends that if possible no obstruction should be present, particularly within the azimuth range of sunrise and sunset over the year. This dataset describes the horizon at the BSRN radiation site MIN as additional information on the site's surroundings. -24.9949 -24.9949 16.8778 16.8778 -24.9949 16.8778 2026-01-01T00:00:00 2026-01-01T00:00:00 10.0 10.0 not specified BSRN Baseline Surface Radiation Network https://bsrn.awi.de/ Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven AWI https://www.awi.de/ https://ror.org/032e6b942 MIN Mindelo 16.8778 -24.9949 Mindelo, Cape Verde 10.0 2026-01-01T00:00:00 Monitoring station MONS BSRN station no: 87; Surface type: concrete; Topography type: flat, rural; Horizon: doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.995581; Station scientist: Jonas Witthuhn (witthuhn@tropos.de) 110 CC-BY-4.0 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Azimuth Azim deg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuth Angle http://dbpedia.org/resource/Angle Plane Angle http://dbpedia.org/resource/Plane_angle Witthuhn Jonas jonas.witthuhn@tropos.de 0000-0002-4818-5011 Azim [deg] Elevation angle alpha deg Angle http://dbpedia.org/resource/Angle Plane Angle http://dbpedia.org/resource/Plane_angle Witthuhn Jonas jonas.witthuhn@tropos.de 0000-0002-4818-5011 alpha [deg] CurationLevelC Enhanced curation https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Curation_levels citable author60686 curlevel30 event3413401 geocode1599 geocode1600 geocode1601 geocode8128 inst20251 inst32 license21 method11312 param4916 param55956 pi60686 project4094 sourceinst20251 term43765 term43915 term77543 topotype1
