|-
|SunThreshold=75
|If you have a solar sensor: Cumulus tries to determine whether the sun is shining by determining whether the current solar radiation value is above a certain percentage of the current theoretical maximum. The value you supply here is used as that percentage. The default value is 75%.
|-
|RStransfactor=0.8
|Cumulus uses the Ryan-Stolzenbach formula to determine the current theoretical maximum solar radiation at your location at the current moment in time. This formula has a factor to allow for the transmission of the radiation through the atmosphere; the default is 0.80.
|-
|SolarMinimum=0
|This setting allows you to specify a minimum solar radiation value which needs to be reached before it can be considered to be sunny. Note that this setting does not replace the calculation using the current theoretical maximum, it specifies an additional condition which has to be met. This setting therefore allows you to cater for the periods at the beginning and end of the day when the theoretical maximum is very low.
|-
|LuxToWM2=0.0079
|Edit cumulus.ini to add this parameter if you have a Fine Offset station with a solar detector. These supply 'Lux' values rather than 'W/m2' values that Davis stations supply. Cumulus attempts to convert from Lux to W/m2 using the supplied multiplication factor. You can add this parameter if you want to use a value other than the default of 0.0079, which is the generally accepted standard conversion factor for sunlight.

|UseBlakeLarsen=0
|style="background:lightgray;"|Section name - the following parameters relate to the solar configuration.
| Called B/l on screen. Set this to 1 if you have a Blake-Larsen Sun Recorder, and you want Cumulus to get today's sunshine hours from it. You need to configure the Blake-Larsen software to put the SRsunshine.dat file into the Cumulus data folder so that Cumulus can read it.

All these can be set in the NOAA Setup Screen in Configuration menu.  You might select to close Cumulus, and edit the 'NOAATempNorm[Jan-Dec]' and 'NOAARainNorm[Jan-Dec]' parameters by using a external editor to manipulate into required format, copy, and paste, the values from another source (as there are a lot of figures to type in).


'''Please note:''' because this section of Cumulus.ini uses [[Webtags#Time.2FDate_.27format.27_Parameter|date format]] parameters, it is not directly exchangeable between Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX. You will need to update this section using the NOAA Setup Screen in Configuration menu.

The settings that you use for Cumulus 1 may not be the same as settings you use for MX.  If for Cumulus 1, you used capital "M" to represent month it will work for MX too. If for Cumulus 1 you used "NOAAMO'mmyy'.txt" and you then move to MX at any version from version 3.3.0 onwards, it will automatically change your setting to "NOAAMO'MMyy'.txt" (which works on both Cumulus MX and, if you then revert, also on Cumulus 1).
