National Solar Radiation Data Base Hourly Solar Data from Alaska, 1961-1990
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS043

Summary
The radiation data are derived from the National Solar Radiation Data Base
(NSRDB) hourly data in synoptic format, and provided by the National Climatic
Data Center (NCDC). They contain hourly global horizontal solar irradiance,
direct normal solar irradiance, and diffuse horizontal solar irradiance for 17
Solar and Meteorological Surface Observation Network (SAMSON) stations in
Alaska from January 1, 1961 through December 31, 1990. The data are
distributed with permission from NCDC.
