New Mexico climate manual: solar and weather data. Final report
This manual contains extensive solar and weather data for the state of New Mexico in tabular, map, and graphic formats. It is particularly relevant to design of energy efficient buildings and renewable energy systems, but is also broad enough to provide useful information to many other disciplines. Maps of the state show monthly values of insolation for horizontal, south-facing latitude-tilted and vertical surfaces, as well as mean temperatures. Climatic summaries given for 63 sites include monthly temperature and precipitation data as well as heating/cooling degree-days and design temperatures. For nine locations (Albuquerque, Clayton, Farmington, Los Alamos, Roswell, T or C, Tucumcari, Zuni, and El Paso, Texas) most of the following comprehensive data sets are also presented: design temperatures with mean coincident wet bulb and wind values; HDD/CDD values to 12 base temperatures; day/night wind data; typical and clear-day values of incident and transmitted solar radiation for 97 orientations and tilts; and temperature distribution data in 2/sup 0/F bins for six daily time periods. Extensive explanatory text with referencing to the data is provided.
