[Equest-users] Weather

[Jordan Goldsmith]

Katy, as to you first question I am unable to answer, for the second part on
using the Converter I might be able to help

Once downloaded

- Navigate into the Util32 folder
- Put of copy of the tmy file you wish to convert in the Util32 
- Right click on the MKAFT.BAT file 
	-Edit
- Change  set doedir=  to the match  the file directory you are in (ex.
C:\documents and settings\my documents\ ....)
- Change  set weather.bin = (the file you wish to convert) ex.
MT_Gallatin_Field.bin
- Change  set weather.fmt = (the file you wish to convert) ex.
MT_Gallatin_Field.ft
- Save the file
- Double click MKAFT.BAT to run the program
- A .ft file will appear in the directory
- Rename as .txt (ignore warnings)

The first 3 lines are usually some junk, then the column headings from left
to right are

Month
Day
Hour
Twb
Tdb
Patmos
CLDAMT
ISNOW
IRain
Wind Direction
Humidity Ratio
Density
Enthalpy
Solar Radiation
Direct Solar Radiation
Cloud Type
Wind Speed

We have a Data base set up to import the data into the correct headings...

Hope this helps
