I have two questions, and sorry for my broken English.
First,
I would like to know why 'Beam irradiance' in TMY data is so high value.
I thought that the this equality holds;
Global horizontal irradiance = Beam irradiance + Diffuse irradiance
However, in TMY data, the beam irradiance often exceeds the global irradiace.
For excample,
on SAM/AK Anchorage.tm2, Time:2265 Global irradiance = 295 W/m2, Beam irradiance = 482 W/m2
Would you tell me why this happen?
Second,
I need the hourly albedo data from Best Weather Data for international locations (in EPW format).
How can I copy the data to excel?
When possible, I would like to get the data with other results such as absolute air mass, ambient temperature.
Waiting for your kind reply.
