The ascii-version looks fine but the analysis of the binary-verion within the clm-module revealed a shift of data from day to nighttime and to other days???? which causes the strange output for solar incidence, cf. attached files.</DIV>   This seems like an issue with the conversion from ascii to binary.

Attached you will find the climatefile. I get an resulting file from the conversion but my concern is that the insolation on 1x1x1m3 box diviade too much from results in another simulation programme. The incident insolation from the other programme is: North: 241 kWh/m2 (ESP-r 504 kWh/m2) South: 765 kWh/m2 (ESP-r 347 kWh/m2) East: 544 kWh/m2 (ESP-r 619 kWh/m2) West: 566 kWh/m2 (ESP-r 593 kWh/m2) Roof: 927 kWh/m2 (ESP-r 472 kWh/m2) It could look like I switched north and south but 180dg is set to south.
