If your climate data is available in hourly resolution (i.e., 8760 values each for temperature, global radiation, wind, and relative humidity), you can import it into our programs by saving it as an ASCII file, tab-separated, with the extension *.dat.
The first lines (the file header) must look like this:
Line 1: Location name
"Vienna"
Line 2: Latitude, longitude, altitude, time relative to Greenwich, -30 should remain.
48.11,-16.21,170,-1,-30
Decimal places for latitude and longitude must be entered in minutes, e.g., Vienna 48.1866° => input 48.11. For locations in eastern longitude, negative signs must be used when entering longitude and time. For latitude, a positive sign corresponds to the northern hemisphere.
Line 3: Blank line
Line 4: Must be copied as is; tab-separated
Ta Gh FF RH
Lines 5-8746:
The following data lines are listed in the following order: outdoor temperature - global radiation on the horizontal plane/m² - wind speed - relative humidity; tab-separated.
-5.0 0 1.8 75.5
-5.4 0 1.5 78.0
