The generation of a typical meteorological year is of great importance
for passive solar architectural applications. In this context, within
the PASCOOL project, a software tool has been developed, utilizing th
e Filkenstein-Schafer statistical method for the creation of a typical
meteorological year. Using this software tool, a typical meteorologic
al year was generated for Athens, Greece. The data used were from the
National Observatory of Athens and cover a period of 17 years (1977-19
93). (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
