[esp-r] Re: Importing weather data

[Jon Hand]

There is an option in the 'clm' module to import columns of data from a text file.  You have
to specify which column is the source for a specific kind of weather data and the unit of
the data being imported - e.g. ambient temperatures are in the 5th column, wind speed
is in m/2 and is in the 2nd column.  I can read space separated or tab separated or comma
separated data.

Dear Maki,

as all else seems to be failing, an approach that worked for me is to export an existing climate file as ascii, then replace the data (yes, with the correct ordering of the column) by the data from the .csv (Export from Excel, after making sure the order of columns is correct and that the values are as needed in terms of units). Then import this ascii file. Maybe worth a try.

Make sure you don’t export with “day delimiters”.

Best
Achim

Hi everyone.



I am trying to install a new weather file, based on DRY13 (Dansk Design Reference Year). I followed ESP-r cookbook 2015, Exercise 3.6, however it is failed. ESP-r said it is illegal. (See the attached JPG)



The new weather data, which I am trying to install is DRY13. I have the excel data, therefore I used softwere called ‘Elements’ to convert it to EPW file. When you create the EPW file, is there order for the weather data comprises?
