- [sunpo]
- ;
- ;This SUNPO initialization file contains default geographical coordinates
- ;and the time zone value of a hypothetical observation site at which cal-
- ;culations are desired. It should be placed in your base Windows directory.
- ;Typically you should edit it suit your own location to avoid a continuing
- ;need to fill in the data during each run. The MS-DOS version of SUNPO does
- ;not know that SUNPO.INI exists.
- ;
- ;IF ANY SORT OF ERROR IS ENCOUNTERED BY SUNPO AS IT READS THIS FILE, THEN
- ;NONE OF THE DATA HEREIN ARE REGARDED AS VALID. IN THAT CASE, A DEFAULT
- ;CASE WILL BE ASSIGNED.
- ;
- LONGDEG=12
- LONGMIN=34
- LONGEW=W
- ;
- LATDEG=8
- LATMIN=9
- LATNS=N
- ;
- ;Replace the above data with your own longitude and latitude data.
- ;Use "E" instead of "W" if you are east of standard 0 degree meridian.
- ;Use "S" instead of "N" if you are in the southern hemisphere.
- ;
- ;Just to be sure: do not leave any blanks after the "=" sign or between
- ;relevant digits...not all cases are double checked! If a run of the
- ;Windows version of SUNPO seems to ignore your SUNPO.INI file it it likely
- ;that it finds an error herein:
- ;
- ;IF THERE ARE ANY "BLANKS" AFTER THE "=" SYMBOLS IN THE ABOVE DATA, THEN
- ;THE CONTENTS OF THIS FILE WILL BE IGNORED BY SUNPO ANY YOU MUST RUN THE
- :CONTROL DATA/ OBSERVER POSITION DIALOG TO CHANGE THE INTRINSIC DEFAULT
- ;POSITION VALUES BUILT INTO THE PROGRAM.
- ;
- ;NOTE: The ABOVE data can be changed during a SUNPO run if you set the
- ; observer position via the "Control Data" main menu item.
- ;
- ; ******** DO NOT SKIP OVER READING THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION **********

- ;If you know your time zone (as an integer) enter it after the "TIMZON="
- ;
- ;
- TIMZON= 0
- ;
- ;
- ;If you leave TIMZON blank or set it to any integer smaller than or equal
- ;to -25, then the TIMZON value WILL BE CALCULATED from your longitude via
- ;the formula:
- ;
- ; TIMZON=nearest integer (rounded down) value of (longitude/15.0).
- ;
- ;"East" longitudes are positive and the above calculated TIMZON value will
- ;be increased by +1.
- ;"West" longitudes are negative in the formula and give negative (or zero)
- ;values for TIMZON.
- ;
- ATMODEL=1
- ;
- ;Atmospheric model ID values are: 1=tropical, 2=midlatitude summer,
- ;3=midlatitude summer, 4= subarctic summer, 5=subarctic winter,
- ;0=no model-> all fluxes will be set to zero.
- ;rough ideas: latitude < 15 deg, use atmodel=1;
- ; 15 deg < latitude < 55, use models 2 or 3
- ; latitude > 55 use models 4 or 5
- ;
- ;IF YOU CHANGE THE OBSERVER POSITION VIA THE CONTROL DATA/OBSERVER POSITION
- ;MAIN MENU COMMANDS IN SUNPO AND THEN SAVE THE NEW VALUES TO THE SUNPO.INI
- ;FILE, THE VALUE OF TIMZON IS AUTOMATICALY SET TO -25 TO FORCE CALCULATION
- ;ACCORDING TO THE ABOVE FORMULA. IF YOU KNOW A BETTER VALUE, THEN RE-EDIT
- ;YOUR SUNPO.INI FILE TO CORRECT IT.
- ;
- ;See the SUNPOxxx.DOC file for some more hints about time zone values.

- ;Once you have all of this stuff set up to your satisfaction you may
- ;delete all the lines which begin with semicolons if you like, but
- ;they don't really use much disk space if you leave them in.
