Meteorological Laws

Classes
class	mio::DataGenerator
	A class to generate meteo data from user-selected models or parametrizations. This class sits in between the actual implementation of the various methods and the IOManager in order to offer some high level interface. It basically reads the arguments and creates the objects for the various data generators in its constructor and loop through the parameters and stations when called to fill the data. More...
class	mio::GeneratorAlgorithm
	Interface class for the generator models. More...
class	mio::Atmosphere
	A class to calculate the atmosphere's parameters. More...
class	mio::SunObject
	A class to calculate Solar radiation characteristics This is largely based on M. Iqbal, "An introduction to solar radiation", 1983, Academic Press, ISBN: 0-12-373750-8. The Sun's position is provided by the SunTrajectory class (currently the only implemented algorithm is Meeus). All units are SI. See http://www.meteoexploration.com/products/solarcalc.php for a validation calculator. More...
class	mio::SunTrajectory
	A class to calculate the Sun's position This class is purely virtual. More...
class	mio::SunMeeus
	Calculate the Sun's position based on the Meeus algorithm. See J. Meeus, "Astronomical Algorithms", 1998, 2nd ed, Willmann-Bell, Inc., Richmond, VA, USA, ISBN 0-943396-61-1. A useful reference is also NOAA's spreadsheet at http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/grad/solcalc/calcdetails.html or http://energyworksus.com/solar_installation_position.html for comparing positional data. The technical report I. Reda, A. Andreas, "Solar Position Algorithm for Solar Radiation Applications", 2008, NREL/TP-560-34302 also contains an alternative algorithm and very detailed validation data sets. More...
