The Center for Energy Studies (CES) and the Department of Mechanical Engineering maintain a monitoring station for solar and weather data at the University of Texas at Austin. The station has recorded solar (global horizontal, direct normal, and diffuse horizontal) and weather (wind speed and direction, dry-bulb temperature, and relative humidity) data since it became operational on July 1, 1984. A description of the monitoring station, its instrumentation, and the data acquisition and analysis procedures is given in a previous CES report. Hourly and monthly data for the calendar year 1985 are also presented in that report and are archived on the university's Cyber computer system. The present report extends the documentation of the 1985 historical data by adding data for 1986 and 1987. While the 1985 data report includes tabular hourly data for the entire year, the present report includes only the hourly average summaries by month. However, the full hourly data for 1985-87 are archived on the Cyber system.
