[TRNSYS-users] meteo data files

[Werner Keilholz]

Hi Isabelle,

The data is based on hourly data.
In the present version, most of the data is taken from the GEBA (Global 
Energy
Balance Archive), from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO/OMM) 
Climato-logical Normals 1961-1990 and from the Swiss database compiled 
by MeteoSwiss.

Interpolations are made for certain variables which are not available at 
a given site.
If you install the additional French weather data distributed by CSTB
(in \Trnsys16\Weather\Meteonorm\Europe\France)
you will find a readme.htm file which explains which parameters are 
measured
for each site.

You find details about meteonorm at
