Solar ResourceMonthly global horizontal, direct normal and diffuse irradiance, clear-sky irradiance and clearness index for all 16 Ghanaian regional capitals, 1990-2026 — the inputs a solar yield estimate is built from. NASA POWER. 7040 records.

Power PlantsGhana's power stations with installed capacity in megawatts, primary and secondary fuel, owner, commissioning year and reported annual generation. Sourced from the WRI Global Power Plant Database, CC BY 4.0. 6 records.

Weather StationsGhana's synoptic weather stations with coordinates, elevation, ICAO code and the span of their record — the stations the observation datasets are keyed to. Sourced from NOAA's Integrated Surface Database history, public domain. 33 records.

Weather Observations DailyWhat Ghana's weather stations actually recorded each day since 2000: temperature, dew point, pressure, visibility, wind, gusts, rainfall, and whether there was fog, rain or thunder. Observations rather than a model. Sourced from NOAA Global Summary of the Day, public domain. 93470 records.

Weather Observations MonthlyMonthly summaries of Ghana's station weather back to 1973 — mean, maximum and minimum temperature, dew point, total rainfall, rain and thunder days, wind and visibility — with the number of days each station reported, so thin months can be told from complete ones. Sourced from NOAA Global Summary of the Day, public domain. 7908 records.

Rainfall DekadalSatellite-estimated rainfall for every Ghanaian region and district in ten-day periods since 1981, with the long-term average for the same period and the anomaly against it, plus one and three-month accumulations. The series drought monitoring and crop-year assessment run on. CHIRPS via WFP VAM on HDX, CC BY 4.0. 370350 records.

Protected Areas RegistryGhana's national parks, wildlife reserves, forest reserves and Ramsar sites as named places, with IUCN category, area and the year each was established where recorded — Mole, Kakum, Digya and the rest. 141 records.

Land CoverGhana's land cover by class — tree-covered, shrub, herbaceous, cropland, built-up, bare and inland water — from satellite land-cover products. Sourced from FAO FAOSTAT, CC BY 4.0. 667 records.

Agricultural EmissionsGreenhouse gas emissions from Ghanaian agriculture and land use — enteric fermentation, manure, rice cultivation, synthetic fertiliser, burning, forest land and net conversions — by gas and year. Sourced from FAO FAOSTAT, CC BY 4.0. 10392 records.

Temperature ChangeGhana's surface temperature change against the 1951-1980 baseline, month by month and season by season since 1961, with the standard deviation of the baseline period. Sourced from FAO FAOSTAT, CC BY 4.0. 2210 records.

Emissions IntensitiesHow much greenhouse gas each kilogram of Ghanaian farm output carries: emissions intensity by commodity, with the production and the emissions it is derived from. Sourced from FAO FAOSTAT, CC BY 4.0. 1701 records.

Agricultural Energy EmissionsGreenhouse gas emissions from the energy Ghanaian agriculture consumes — diesel, petrol, electricity, gas — by gas and year. Sourced from FAO FAOSTAT, CC BY 4.0. 532 records.

Burnt AreaHow much of each Ghanaian district burned each year since 2000, measured from satellite — bush fires and agricultural burning, which in the north are a seasonal fact and a real risk to crops, plantations and air quality. Sourced from Action Against Hunger, via HDX (CC BY-IGO). 25480 records.

Climate Fund ProjectsGreen Climate Fund projects in Ghana: the accredited entity, theme, financing instrument, amounts committed and disbursed, and where each project stands. Sourced from Green Climate Fund, via HDX (CC BY 4.0). 13 records.

Emissions by SourceEmissions from individual sources in Ghana — power stations, mines, refineries, cement works, landfills, farms and roads — estimated from satellite observation, in tonnes of CO2 equivalent, with the coordinates of each asset. The ESG dataset that names the emitter. Sourced from Climate TRACE, via HDX (CC BY 4.0). 2454 records.

ESG IndicatorsThe World Bank's ESG dataset for Ghana: emissions and energy, natural resource depletion, food and water stress, health and education outcomes, inequality, labour standards, governance and regulatory quality — the indicators sovereign ESG assessments are built from. 80 series covering 1960-2025. Sourced from World Bank Open Data, CC BY 4.0. 2619 records.

Sea Level MonthlyMonthly mean sea level measured at Ghana's two tide gauges — Takoradi from 1929 to August 2012 and Tema from 1963 to September 1982 — in millimetres, with the number of days missing from each month and the quality flag the record carries. Heights are on each station's own Revised Local Reference datum, set roughly seven metres below mean sea level so values stay positive: the trend at a station is meaningful, a comparison of absolute heights between stations is not. Both are closed records: no quality-controlled Ghanaian tide-gauge data after 2012 is published under terms that allow reuse (the IOC's raw near-real-time feed from the gauges forbids commercial use). Sourced from the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level, freely available with acknowledgement. 1027 records.

Storm TracksTracks of tropical storms recorded near Ghana: position, wind speed and pressure at each observation, from the international best-track archive. Sourced from NOAA IBTrACS, via HDX (CC BY-IGO). 10775 records.

Sustainable EnergyAccess to electricity and clean cooking in Ghana, urban and rural, the renewable share of energy consumption, energy intensity and investment in the energy sector. 11 series covering 1990-2016. Sourced from World Bank Open Data, CC BY 4.0. 277 records.
