 If you have exact weather data for your simulation area originating from e.g. measurements and would like to use this data to simulate your model in ENVI-met, you can create a *.CSV-file and convert the data to a Full Forcing File. The *.CSV-file needs to follow the formatting specifications given below. If you have exact weather data for your simulation area originating from e.g. measurements and would like to use this data to simulate your model in ENVI-met, you can create a *.CSV-file and convert the data to a Full Forcing File.

 After indicating your CSV settings (separators and heading), deciding whether you would like to force either radiation or cloud coverage, and defining the measurement heights of your data, you can import your data to an ENVI-met Forcing File. Regarding the columns for radiation / cloud coverage: Depending on the data you have, you can either enter the cloud cover for the different height levels (in octas) or the radiation (splitted into shortwave direct, diffuse and longwave radiation). Depending on what you choose, you have to tell the forcing manager how to interpret these columns, as cloud cover or as radiation data. After indicating your CSV settings (separators and heading), deciding whether you would like to force either radiation or cloud coverage, and defining the measurement heights of your data, you can import your data to an ENVI-met Forcing File.

 Please check all forced values: Do radiation values look unreasonable to you? Are wind speeds too low (<0.8 m/s) or too high (> 5 m/s). Is the wind direction rapidly and strongly changing between timesteps (e.g. from 0° to 180° within one hour)? Are the relative humidity values too high for your high temperature values, resulting in a very high specific humidity? Please check all forced values: Do radiation values look unreasonable to you?
