TMY3 Released with 1020 US Locations

1 post / 0 new

Greetings!

Thank you to all who have described ways to convert the TMY3/TMY2 files to
.bin files for use in eQuest. I was just giving it a go, and keep getting
the error below. I shortened the station number from 6 to 5 digits by
dropping the last one as recommended. I followed the directions provided by
Scott Horowitz, the station number in my input file matches the one in the
WEATHR file. When I run the DOEWTH.EXE, this error message is displayed in
the output file:

DOE-2.2NT35 WEATHER UTILITY PROGRAM
INPUT VERIFICATION
RUN TYPE PACK
-------------
STATION NAME PROVIDENCE RI TMY2
TAPE TYPE TMY2
STATION NUMBER 72507
--- ERROR --- INCORRECT STATION NUMBER

All of the errors go away in the output file if there are three spaces in
the WEATHR file after the 5-number station name, but the NEWTH.TMP file
remains empty. Any suggestions?
