Missing Weather File Data[LINK]
The following data contains “missing” descriptors; a new concept not introduced previously in our IDD conventions. In this case, it will be processed as though those values are “missing” in the weather conversions. This may not always be desirable though the weather processor will fill in “missing” value with something “appropriate”. Eventually, these missing values will be available through the weather processor. Until then, the following are used for initial missing conditions. When a valid value is encountered from weather data, however, it will become the new “missing” replacement value:
