Remon,<br>
The TMY3 file format has some additional fields that the TMY2
format did not have. The "liquid precipitation depth" is defined as
the amount of liquid precipitation observed at the indicated time
for the period indicated while the "liquid precipitation quantity is
defined as the period of accumulation for the liquid precipitation
depth output. As far as converting between the two file types is
concerned there are two issues. There may be some utilities
available to convert the format of a file from TMY2 to TMY3. However
even if you convert the format, the far bigger difficulty is in
getting the data that would have to be added to the TMY3 file
format. Finding average hourly rain/snow fall data for a particular
location is probably not an easy thing to do.<br>
Best,<br>

to study the effect of natural ventilation through
some openings by considering the outside condition
(rainy time, wind speed, etc). <br style="">
In TRNSYS-17 version, can we know the hourly rainy
time and the rain amounts from TRNSYS weather data
file (file.tm2)? I only have the weather data on
‘file.tm2‘ format for my case study. <br

the ‘***.tmy3’ file (Type 15-TMY3) provides the
possibility to obtain ‘the Liquid precipitation depth

in to ‘file.tmy3 ‘? <br style=""
