days		time		Dhpot	Dheff	Dnpot	Dneff	Bhpot	Bhtopo	Bheff	Bnpot	Bneff	tB	azimut	altitude
days: start and end day of the year (121-151 corresponds to May, 244-273 to September)
time: start and end time of the day
Dhpot: potential (unmasked) diffuse radiation on a horizontal surface
Dheff: effective (masked) diffuse radiation on a horizontal surface
Dnpot, Dneff: the same for an inclined surface
Bhpot, Bheff, Bnpot, Bneff: the same for direct (beam) radiation
tB: time of direct (beam) radiation in minutes (when at least half of the solar disk is visible)
azimut, altitude: average position of the sun (°) if above the horizon

here come the averages for the whole period (ending here day 273 = end of September)

note that the duration of direct radiation (in minutes) is summed, not averaged
DLI	11.25%	<-- diffuse light index (also called diffuse non-interceptance)
BLI	10.96%	<-- beam (direct) light index
GLI	11.09%	<-- global light index (also called gap light index)
note that these indexes are for the given period, here May to September
