[BLDG-SIM] Weatherfiles europe including soilsirface temperatures

[aa1 at brighton.ac.uk]

Jannes,

 

You can get monthly average soil surface temperature for any location on
the globe from the NASA link below. This contains 10-year global
climatology of insolation and meteorology data on a 1o x 1o grid system,
you should therefore read through the methodology for developing the SSE
database and accuracy of the dataset, this will you make a judgement on
whether this is appropriate for what you are trying to do.

Janis,
  I am not sure which file formats have the soil surface temperature in
them but TRNSYS is able to read the TMY, TMY2, EnergyPlus, International
Weather for Energy Calculations (IWEC), Canadian Weather for Energy
Calculations (CWEC), or user-format data. The most extensive data for
Europe I believe comes from Meteonorm in TMY2 format and that is not a
format that includes a field for soil surface temperature. If you are
unable to find a source of soil surface temperatures then the two
typical solutions that we have used are to use the Kasuda correlation
(temperature is a function of depth and time of year), or a soil surface
energy balance. Both are available as Types for TRNSYS.
Cheers,
 David

I would appreciate it if somebody could tell me where i can climate
files that incorporate soil surface temperatures for europe and are
compatible for TRNSYS 16.

Thanks,
