Convert total sky cover to cloud cover

Hi
How to convert total sky cover to cloud cover ? I need for Create a WEB from hourly data collections and the Zhang-Huang Solar Model.

What do you think is the difference between these two? As far as I understand, these two metrics are synonyms.

Hi @chris
Can I use the total_sky_cover output for _cloud_cover according to this image?

Also what is your suggestion for atmos_pressure?

Yes, using the total sky cover like that that should be fine. Or rather, it’s as accurate as you are going to get with using EPW data as your input for the Zhang-Huang model.

_atmos_pressure_ and barometric_pressure are the same. Admittedly, we could have done a better job matching the names of inputs/outputs on the components here but hopefully the component descriptions make it clear that these metrics are the same.
