NLRad: Net Longwave Radiation (R_nl)

In FAO56: Evapotranspiration Based on FAO Penman-Monteith Equation

Net Longwave Radiation (R_nl)

Description

NLRad returns the value of net longwave radiation.

Usage

NLRad(T_max, T_min, e_a, R_s, R_so)

Arguments

T_max	Optional. A numeric scalar that denotes the daily maximum temperature [C].
T_min	Optional. A numeric scalar that denotes the daily minimum temperature [C].
e_a	Optional. A numeric scalar that denotes the actual vapour pressure [kPa].
R_s	A numeric scalar that denotes the incoming solar radiation [MJ/(m^2\times day)].
R_so	A numeric scalar that denotes clear-sky radiation [MJ/(m^2\times day)].

Details

This is a function to calculate the net longwave radiation [MJ/(m^2\times day)].

Value

The function returns the value of net solar or net shortwave radiation as a numeric scalar.
