SOLWEIG meteofile input T_d

[kobebryant432]

In the MeteoFile.txt input file used by SOLWEIG there is the variable $T_d$, is this 2m-air temperature or is this dew-point temperature?

I find this rather unclear.

• In the SOLWEIG documentation only 2m-air temperature is said to be required.
• I can not find any clear information in the code itself.

it is common (dry bulb) 2m-air temperature.

Ok great, I thought so but was not 100% sure thanks for the clarification.

Maybe this could be added in the manual as here $T_a$ is used. Also $T_d$ is used as the dew-point temperature here:

Td = (b2*(((a2*Ta)/(b2+Ta))+np.log(RH)))/(a2-(((a2*Ta)/(b2+Ta))+np.log(RH)))
