rdtools.clearsky_temperature.get_clearsky_tamb

rdtools.clearsky_temperature.get_clearsky_tamb(times, latitude, longitude, window_size=40, gauss_std=20)

Estimates the ambient temperature at latitude and longitude for the given times using a Gaussian rolling window.

Parameters:
  • times (pd.DatetimeIndex) -- A pandas DatetimeIndex, localized to local time
  • latitude (float) -- Coordinates in decimal degrees.
  • longitude (float) -- Coordinates in decimal degrees. Positive is east of the prime meridian.
  • window_size (int, default 40) -- The window size in days to use when calculating rolling averages.
  • gauss_std (int, default 20) -- The standard deviation in days to use for the Gaussian rolling window.
Returns:

clear sky ambient temperature
Return type:

pd.Series
