[Equest-users] Weather file for Mauritius

[Christopher Jones]

We obtain hourly weather data from various weather stations in Canada 
to create specific weather year information for calibration 
purposes.  The data is not in a format easily converted into equest 
weather files.  We have developed our own processors to convert 
weather data to a format recognized by equest.

Typically we receive the following hourly data to create an equest 
weather file:
Dew Point Temperature
Wind Direction
Wind SpeedStation Pressure
Dry Bulb Temperature
Wet Bulb Temperature
Relative Humidity
Total Cloud Opacity
Total Cloud Amount
