The Global Energy Balance Archive (GEBA) is a central database for the instrumentally measured energy fluxes at the Earth's surface, maintained by the Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences at ETH Zurich. GEBA stores monthly means of the various energy balance components observed at worldwide distributed stations. Technical support of the database and its web user interface is provided by the IT Services of ETH. The database can be accessed in the "Data Retrieval" menu (> See overview), after registration and approval.
The GEBA data are available at no cost for bona fide research. When acknowledging GEBA, the following statement should be made: "GEBA is co-funded by the Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSwiss within the framework of GCOS Switzerland."
Institutions willing to offer data to the GEBA as well as users needing support (or for providing feedback) are kindly invited to contact us
