sl_compute_nrj_diffuse: Compute energy of diffuse ray

In SamsaRaLight: Simulate Tree Light Transmission Using Ray-Tracing

Compute energy of diffuse ray

Description

Calculating SamsaraLight rays diffuse Energy in MJ/m2 of a plane perpendicular to beam ray direction for a Standard Overcast Sky or Uniform Overcast Sky are possible

Usage

sl_compute_nrj_diffuse(
  soc,
  total_diffuse,
  height_angle_rad,
  diffuse_anglestep_rad
)

Arguments

soc	boolean - Standard Overcast Sky, if false: Uniform Overcast Sky
total_diffuse	double - Total diffuse energy on a horizontal plan (in kWh.m-2)
height_angle_rad	double - Angle between beam and soil (in radians)
diffuse_anglestep_rad	double - Hour angle between two diffuse beams (in radians)

Value

Energy per square meter of a horizontal plan (in MJ.m-2)
