Appendix B ______________________________________________________ Calculation Formulas Scalar Wind Direction Average Method Wind direction average calculation using the Scalar method is based on the assumption that the source direction value does not differ more than 180° from the previous average value. The previous average value is marked as 0° and the source values are scaled with respect to that point so that the result varies between -180° and 180°.
User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________ Sunshine Duration Sunshine duration calculation reports whether the sun is shining or not. The sun is considered to be shining, if global radiation (G) is more than 120 W/m2. Also, the ratio G/G0, where G0 is the calculated extraterrestrial global radiation (on top of the atmosphere), must be over 0.4. Calculation of G0 requires stations position (longitude and latitude), current (= local) time, and day number (0-365).
