According to the Meteonorm definition, the "Climatic distance" between two sites is the quadratic sum of their horizontal distance and the altitude difference weighted by a factor of 100:

DistanceClim  = SQRT  ( Dist Hor ²  +  (100 · Diff Altit)²  )

Following Meteonorm Standard, it can be admitted that a meteorological site is representative of a given place if their climatic distance does not exceed around 20 km.
