<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Drury and Jason are correct; this is a DOE-2 bug
(all versions) that does not allow the program to simulate latitudes at or above
the arctic circle (also true in the Southern hemisphere). Drury's suggestion
should allow you to get around the problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>DOE-2.2, Version 41 and later fixes this problem.
The program now also recognizes that sun angles can change radically from
one month to the next in high latitudes (especially spring/fall, even in
more temperate latitudes), and will recalculate shading angles more often than
once per month when it encounters this situation. Users
of DOE-2.2 should download Version 41a from the FTP
site. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>eQUEST is expected will contain this fix sometime
this quarter. We are considering porting this fix into DOE-2.1e as well, but
have not yet done so.</FONT></DIV>
