Several climate files are [[1D:Dialog_SelectClimateFileFromMap | supplied with
WUFI]]. The following are some sources offering weather data for additional locations.
WUFI can read the respective file formats; the user must judge to which degree these
data are useful and appropriate for his specific application.


=== Test reference years: ===

The German National Meteorological Service DWD offers test reference years for all
climatic regions in Germany, representing typical as well as extreme weather situations:


"New Test Reference Years (TRYs) have been worked
out for Germany. Test Reference Years are datasets of selected meteorological elements
for each hour of the year. They provide climatological boundary conditions for simulating
calculations on an hourly basis, in the first place for the operation of heating and air
conditioning systems. On the basis of a factor and cluster analysis the Federal Republic
has been divided into 15 regions. For each region a representative station has been
determined and a Test Reference Year has been prepared. They replace the previous Test
Reference Years of the old West German states. For those states which acceded to the
Federal Republic after unification such datasets are available for the first time. A
Test Reference Year contains characteristic weather data of a representative year. The
weather sequences have been chosen on the basis of an analysis of the Grosswetterlagen
in such a way that the seasonal mean values of the individual meteorological elements
(especially of temperature and humidity) of the representative stations mainly correspond
with their 30-years mean values. As heating and air conditioning equipment also have to be
designed for extreme situations, additional datasets with the same data structure for a
very cold winter (December 1984 to February 1985) and an extremely hot summer (June to
August 1983) have been compiled."

(<A HREF="http://www.dwd.de/de/wir/Geschaeftsfelder/KlimaUmwelt/Leistungen/Statistiken/TRY/TRY.htm">http://www.dwd.de/de/wir/Geschaeftsfelder/KlimaUmwelt/Leistungen/Statistiken/TRY/TRY.htm</A>) [##update##]

Unfortunately, these new test reference years (as opposed to the 'old' test reference
years of 1986) do not contain precipitation data any more. They are thus not suitable
for investigations involving the influence of rain.


The representative stations for the test reference years have already been
[[1D:Dialog_SelectClimateFileFromMap | predefined]] in WUFI's climate selection
map. Just copy the respective files into WUFI's Climate
folder, on the next start WUFI will recognize the files. They can then easily be selected
via the [[1D:Dialog_SelectClimateFileFromMap | climate selection]] map. 
  


=== METEONORM: ===

The Swiss METEOTEST company has developed METEONORM, a program for creating synthetic
hourly weather data, based on measured long-term mean values:


"METEONORM 5.0 (Edition 2003) is based on over
18 years of experience in the development of meteorological databases for energy
applications. It is a comprehensive meteorological reference, incorporating a catalogue
of meteorological data and calculation procedures for solar applications and system design
at any desired location in the world. METEONORM addresses engineers, architects, teachers,
planners and anyone interested in solar energy and climatology. 
... 
Several databases from different parts of the world have been combined and checked for
their reliability. In the present version, most of the data is taken from the GEBA
(Global Energy Balance Archive), from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO/OMM)
Climatological Normals 1961-1990 and from the Swiss database compiled by MeteoSwiss. 
Monthly climatological (long term) means are available for the following parameters: 
• global radiation 
• ambient air temperature 
• humidity 
• precipitation, days with precipitation 
• wind speed and direction 
• sunshine duration 
... 
For many regions of the world, measured data may only be applied within a radius of
50 km from weather stations. This makes it necessary to interpolate parameters between
stations. Interpolation models for solar radiation, temperature and additional parameters,
allowing application at any site in the world, are included in the software. 
... 
From the monthly values (station data, interpolated data or imported data), METEONORM
calculates hourly values of all parameters using a stochastic model. The resulting time
series correspond to "typical years" used for system design. 
  
(<A HREF="http://www.meteotest.ch/en/mn_description?w=ber">http://www.meteotest.ch/en/mn_description?w=ber</A>)


Note: METEONORM can create files in the
[[Details:TRY-File | TRY]] format which can be directly read by
WUFI. 
  


=== Austrian Test Reference Years ===

In addition to the three weather files included with WUFI, weather data for numerous other
Austrian locations are available.

=== ASHRAE CD-ROM: International Weather for Energy Calculations (IWEC) ===

"Contains "typical" weather data in
ASCII format, suitable for use with building energy simulation programs, for 227
locations outside the USA and Canada. The files are derived from up to 18 years of
DATSAV3 hourly weather data originally archived at the National Climatic Data Center.
The weather data are supplemented by solar radiation estimated on an hourly basis from
earth-sun geometry and hourly weather elements, particularly cloud amount information.
This CD is the result of ASHRAE Research Project 1015. The CD contains the user's manual
and complete research report in PDF, the weather data in printable ASCII format and a
version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. To run Acrobat Reader, a 486 or Pentium-based computer
and either Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.5 or later is required. Will also run
on a Macintosh. For Windows 95 and NT, 8MB or RAM (16MB recommended) and 10MB of free
hard-disk space are required."


(<A HREF="http://resourcecenter.ashrae.org/store/ashrae/newstore.cgi?itemid=9448&view=item&page=1&loginid=2167053&words=iwec&method=and&">http://resourcecenter.ashrae.org/store/ashrae/newstore.cgi?itemid=9448&view=item&page=1&loginid=2167053&words=iwec&method=and&</A>)


Note: the IWEC weather data do not contain quantitative rain data but only a
rain indicator reporting rain intensity categories like "light",
"moderate", "heavy", etc. As long as it has not been worked out
which representative hourly quantities corresponding to these categories should be used
in hygrothermic simulations, WUFI will not use rain data in calculations performed
with *.IWC files.


The CD contains files for the following locations:
