dragonfly_uwg.simulation.refsite module

class dragonfly_uwg.simulation.refsite.ReferenceEPWSite(average_obstacle_height=0.1, vegetation_coverage=0.9, temp_measure_height=10, wind_measure_height=10)[source]

Bases: object

Properties of the reference site where the input rural EPW was recorded.

Parameters

  • average_obstacle_height – A number that represents the height in meters of objects that obstruct the view to the sky at the weather station site. This includes both trees and buildings. (Default: 0.1 m).

  • vegetation_coverage – A number between 0 and 1 that represents the fraction of the reference EPW site that is covered in grass. (Default: 0.9).

  • temp_measure_height – A number that represents the height in meters at which temperature is measured on the weather station. (Default: 10m, the standard measurement height for US DoE EPW files).

  • wind_measure_height – A number that represents the height in meters at which wind speed is measured on the weather station. (Default: 10m, the standard measurement height for US DoE EPW files).
