[BLDG-SIM] portugeese weather tapes

[Vitor Leal]

Hi Patricia,

It depends on what kind of climatic data you need. For most purposes the
data generated by programs such as Meteonorm or Climed may be enough.
However, you must be careful if you are using a software that calculates
the external convection coefficient based on wind speed. I once analysed
these files and found that the values for wind are not realistic
(sometimes they are even constant).

There is an official TRY file for Lisbon, with realistic wind data. I
believe that it can be obtained from the Institute of Meteorology
(www.meteo.pt) or from the INETI. For further information I suggest that
you contact Dr. Ricardo Aguiar (ricardo.aguiar at ineti.pt).

Kind regards,
Vitor Leal
