hi, I was looking at the whether data packaged with the SAM model installation. I use the "USA AZ Phoenix Sky Harbor Intl Ap (TMY3).csv" as an example, the data filed including a column called "TWet" which is different from the corresponding data column (called Tdew) in "USA AZ Phoenix (TMY2).csv". I did some more research in the TMY3 user manual, and in Table 1-3, it has data fields related to Dew Point but no data fields related to wet-bulb temperature. I am wondering if the 'Twet' heading in the TMY3 files actually should be Tdew. Thank you.
