[esp-r] Re: Probabilistic weather files

[Jon Hand]

About EPW files.  Some new EPW files have long names for locations and older versions
of ESP-r clm module faulted when reading them.  Make sure you are using the version 11.11
of ESP-r.  If you need an up-to-date Native Windows Installer let me know and I 
will send you a link.  The files on the ESRU download page are a bit out of date.

Many people put project climate files in the model dbs folder. The reference
in the model cfg file then takes the form ../dbs/filename.

As for working with lots of files - the clm module can be driven to convert EPW
files to ESP-r file via command line arguments.  The missing step is that to
get climate files to show up in the list presented within the project manager
you need to include information in the 'climatelist' file.  The ESP-r Cookbook
(Dec 2010 version) discusses this process.  If you want to work with thousands
of climate files we might need to resize some arrays in ESP-r.

Subject: [esp-r]  Probabilistic weather files

Dear All,

I am importing some probabilistic weather files from the Prometheus project (University of Exeter) into ESP-r has anyone tried to use these files with ESP-r before?

I am importing the current EPW files into ASCII binary from the climate db screen. The process is sometimes working and some other times not. I don’t know exactly what the problem is.

I would like to know if I can create a folder that contains these weather files either in my model folder or in the climate data base and if I can reload automatically these new climate files that I am creating from one of these locations. I appreciate any suggestion, thank you in advance.
