Rns: Net solar or net shortwave radiation (Rns)

In MeTo: Meteorological Tools

Net solar or net shortwave radiation (Rns)

Description

Net shortwave radiation is the balance between incoming and reflected solar radiation.

Usage

Rns(Rs, control = list(albedo = 0.23))

Arguments

Rs	incoming solar radiation [MJ/(m2 time)]
control	list for control parameters and empirical factors (see Details)

Details

control:

albedo [-]: 0.23 for hypothetical grass and alfalfa reference crops used in the FAO-56 PM equations

valid for daily and shorter periods

Value

Rns net solar or shortwave radiation [MJ/(m2 time)]
