Run a microclimate analysis in Forma.
Type:
Tutorial
Length:
2 min.
Forma’s microclimate analysis provides a way to evaluate the perceived temperature on site.
Combining sun, wind, and sky exposure, and numerous localized weather and climate data, the analysis creates a comprehensive microclimate map of a site, and it computes the perceived temperature.
In this example, an analysis has been run previously.
The panel and canvas update accordingly.
For the date and time selected, historical meteorological data is evaluated and displayed as an air temperature graph. This histogram illustrates the likelihood for a given temperature based on historically experienced values in the region, but it is also possible to select more extreme scenarios, up to 20% higher than the recorded maximum.
The canvas updates.
The frequency of occurrence for a given direction is identified by the size of the corresponding segment.
This shows updated information about which values are employed for the selected date and time.
To view the temperatures at a specific location:
A tooltip appears, reporting the perceived temperature that corresponds to the selected coordinates.
Notice in this example, there is a 10-degree difference in perceived temperature between two points located very close to one another.
