I took a look at your text weather file. If it's clean, i.e., all
the elements are there for every hour, then the main difficulties
are to calculate the following parameters that are needed in the
DOE-2/eQUEST *.BIN format, as well as to convert all the parameters
from SI to IP:<br>
<br>
calculate wet-bulb temperature from the dry-bulb and relative
humidity<br>
calculate the humidity ratio <br>
calculate the enthalpy of air <br>
<br>
You would also have to add a constant air pressure based on the
location's elevation, and then leave the rain and snow flags as 0's,
but those aren't really used anyway.<br>
<br>
There used to be a dummy Fortran subroutine called OTHER that a user
could modify and then compile with the DOE-2 weather processor
program (also in Fortran), wthr.f,<br>
but I've known of only a handful of people who's actually tried to
use it all the years I was at LBNL. By now, I actually prefer to
write my own program rather than struggling<br>
with the syntax of wthr.f<br>
<br>
Since I do this type of stuff (process weather data) all the time, I
could probably convert this file for you to eQUEST in less than an
hour, but I would have to charge you.<br>
Let me know if you're interested.<br>

<div>Hi all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have a weather file in txt and would like to use the same
file in equest. Is there a way i can convert it to bin so i
can use it in eQuest? the weather file (txt) is attached. </div>
