Meteonorm

Meteonorm contains a database with climatic data from 8,300 stations around the world. It features a horizon database that shows local altitudes of landscape features as plotted from satellites. From simply clicking on a map, it is possible to view not only climate data but also any reduction of solar radiation from local topography features. This is a data source for engineering design programs in passive, active and photovoltaic application of solar energy. It also provides a meteorological reference for environmental research, agriculture, forestry and anyone else interested in meteorology and solar energy.

Calculation of hourly and minute values

From monthly values (station, interpolated or imported data), Meteonorm calculates hourly values of all parameters. The resulting time series corresponds to 'typical years' used for system design.

Additionally, the following parameters are derived:

• Solar azimuth and elevation
• Global, diffuse and beam (direct normal) radiation as well as radiation on inclined planes
• Longwave radiation
• Luminance
• Spectral UVA/UVB, erythemal radiation
• Precipitation, driving rain
• Humidity parameters (dewpoint, relative humidity, mixing ratio, psychrometric temperature)

The generation of humidity values is optimized to fit building and climate system simulations (including extreme hourly values). Additionally, a stochastic generation model for minute values of radiation parameters is available.

Data export

The program produces 36 different predefined export formats. They cover most established simulation software for solar energy applications and building design. All export formats are available for hourly as well as monthly values. Data is written to ASCII files. Alternatively, parameters and desired units can be exported in a user-defined format.
