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:
