I am trying to run 5 min simulation using type 16i radiation processor. Input data is taken at one-hour interval and on a horizontal surface from the weather station and fed with the help of type 9e. INPUT FOR WEATHER FILE fed in type 9e are: month, day, hour, Eeg, Eed, T_amb, %RH,T_sky,W_amb,GDref.
I tried to run the simulation every 5 min with the help of hourly data thinking that the radiation processor can do the interpolation. But after printing the radiation output from type 9i on different surfaces, the value of the radiation (even the diffused radiation) was zero during the daytime at 5 min interval.
Is it possible to take output from the type 16i every five minute with the input data being hourly data?
