Climatic Distance

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:

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

According to Meteonorm standard, a weather data site can be considered representative of a given location if their climatic distance does not exceed approximately 20 km.
