Single element profile files Sometimes it's useful to have a single data type in one file, as we do in our single element profile files. These files present data in a tabular format that facilitates computation of daily totals and hourly average values. Like our other data file types, these are tab-separated ASCII format, so they can be readily imported into a spread sheet program.
The first header row contains the
station initials, followed by year, month, data type
initials and element number. The second header
row lists the hours of the day, from 100
(1:00 a.m.) to 2400. Following these headers, each row contains the data values for
a single day of the month.Example
eu 2000 July HGl 1000
Day\Hr 100 200 300 400 500 600
1 0 0 0 0 4 27
2 0 0 0 0 6 86
3 0 0 0 0 3 23
4 0 0 0 0 3 34
This example shows the first several columns
and rows of a typical single element profile file. Since the data type here is
global irradiance ("1000"), data values are zero until sunrise. An actual file
would contain 18 additional columns to the right, and—since this example is for
July—27 additional rows of data. © 2000, UO Solar Radiation Monitoring Laboratory. Last
