Model attributes (Heat Overlay)

The heat overlay's model calculations depend on a number of calculation-wide parameters. These parameters are available as attributes of the heat overlay and can be modified as such.

Attribute	Unit	Description
DATES	milliseconds	Dates define the amount of timeframes and are used to define the day and time for calculating sun angles.
HOURLY_RADIATION	Wm-2 / hr	The amount of Sun radiation this hour, measured at a weather station.
