I am not sure which file formats have the soil surface temperature in
them but TRNSYS is able to read the TMY, TMY2, EnergyPlus, International
Weather for Energy Calculations </span></font>(IWEC), Canadian Weather for
Energy Calculations (CWEC), or user-format data. The most extensive data for Europe
I believe comes from Meteonorm in TMY2 format and that is not a format that
includes a field for soil surface temperature. If you are unable to find a
source of soil surface temperatures then the two typical solutions that we have
used are to use the Kasuda correlation (temperature is a function of depth and
time of year), or a soil surface energy balance. Both are available as Types
for TRNSYS.<br>
