The HydPy-Meteo model family provides models that calculate meteorological factors. One example is meteo_glob_fao56, which calculates global and clear sky solar radiation. Application models of other model families, for example, evap_ret_fao56, require such factors as input. Users can either prepare the complete time series of these factors during preprocessing and let evap_ret_fao56 read them from files before or during a simulation or couple meteo_glob_fao56 and evap_ret_fao56 to calculate global and clear sky radiation “on the fly”.
