Dialog: Climate File | Select File
This dialog serves to select a user-defined climate file for the
calculation. The files supplied with WUFI can be selected from
maps.
"Browse...":
This button opens a file dialog in which you can select the desired file.
"Additional Geographic Data":
To be able to convert the solar radiation data contained in the
climate files for receiving surfaces at arbitrary orientation and
inclination, WUFI needs to compute the position of the sun in the
sky, and for this it must know the geographic coordinates and the
time zone of the climate location.
Since most climate file formats do not contain these data, they must
be provided by some other means. For the files supplied with WUFI
they have been filed in the database. For each user-defined climate
file the user must create an
*.AGD file with the relevant supplementary
data.
Note: We recommend to always specify the climate file with its full path. Otherwise ambiguities might arise, especially if the climate file is accompanied by an
*.AGD file.
