[TRNSYS-users] Weather data

Tue Jan 22 08:25:50 PST 2019

Siliang and Mohammad,

   I may be misunderstanding what you are doing but if you are patching 
measured temperature data into an existing "standard" weather data file 
so that you can use the standard weather file's solar radiation then I 
would urge being /very /cautious about this. You can easily end up with 
very unrealistic data. In summer you could easily end up with the solar 
saying that the day was very clear but a low temperature coming from a 
period that was actually quite cloudy during that interval in your 
actual data.

  It sounds as though you are being careful about replacing both the dry 
and wet bulb temperatures (as well as RH). If you only replace drybulb 
temperatures without taking care of wet bulb, dew point, and RH then all 
the humdity data in the file will be wrong.

kind regards,

  David
