Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Tool for creating AMY weather files for northern Europe
Thank you very much Paul. The "relative to ground" gives a more accurate picture.
There's a new station list in the Dropbox folder: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dh2y69173fhzylu/77eM5ZDr3F
Just overwrite the old list at \Program Files (x86)\Real-Time Weather Converter\AllStaions.xml.
Now the list includes all weather station inside the geographic are of the solar data model which have data after 1999. Totally 3200 station, but no quality checks have been done om them so there will be stations with no or insufficient data as well.
