Climate data definition
These rows have the syntax:
- Parameter number constant factor 'unit'
and can be read: the value in position number in a line is give to parameter as:
- Parameter = factor * (value - constant) [unit]
Parameter can be given in one of the units (in parenthesis).
Ambient Temp. - Ambient dry bulb temperature (C) or (F).
Dew Point Temp. - Dew point temperature (C) or (F).
Rel. Humidity - Relative humidity, given as (%) or an integer (-).
Humidity Ratio - Absolute moisture content (kg/kg).
Entalphy - Enthalpy (kJ/kg).
Normal Radiation - Normal radiation (W/m²) or (J/cm²).
Diffuse Radiation - Diffuse radiation on horizontal (W/m²) or (J/cm²).
Global Radiation - Global radiation on horizontal (W/m²) or (J/cm²).
Direct Radiation on Horizontal - Direct radiation on horizontal (W/m²) or (J/cm²).
One of the following combinations of solar radiation must be given:
Normal radiation + Diffuse radiation on horizontal.
Normal radiation + Global radiation on horizontal.
Global radiation on horizontal + Diffuse radiation on horizontal.
Diffuse radiation on horizontal + Direct radiation on horizontal.
Cloud cover - Cloud cover, given as (octas), say 0-8 or a fraction (-).
- Wind Speed - Wind speed (m/s) or (knot).
- Wind Direction - Wind direction in degrees (North = 0°, East = 90°).
- AtmPressure - Atmospheric pressure in pascal (Pa).
- Month - Month(-), 1-12.
- Day - Day (-), 1-31.
- Hour - Hour number (-), 1-24.
