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 (pandas.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

pandas.Series
