Average daily light distribution

Calculate the daily profile of light exposure (in lux). Data are averaged over all the days.

Parameters

• freq (str, optional) – Data resampling frequency. Cf. #timeseries-offset-aliases in <https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/timeseries.html>.

• cyclic (bool, optional) – If set to True, two daily profiles are concatenated to ensure continuity between the last point of the day and the first one. Default is False.

Returns

Return type

pandas.Series
