sl_create_rays_diffuse: Create diffuse rays

In SamsaRaLight: Simulate Tree Light Transmission Using Ray-Tracing

Create diffuse rays

Description

Create SamsaraLight diffuse rays of a plane with a classical sky hemisphere divided by meridians and parallels can use Standard Overcast Sky or Uniform Overcast Sky

Usage

sl_create_rays_diffuse(
  soc,
  total_diffuse,
  height_anglemin_rad,
  diffuse_anglestep_rad,
  slope_rad,
  bottom_azimut_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_anglemin_rad	double - Angle minimum between beam and soil (in radians)
diffuse_anglestep_rad	double - Hour angle between two diffuse beams (in radians)
slope_rad	double - Slope of the plan (in radians)
bottom_azimut_rad	double - Azimut of the vector orthogonal to the ground in the (x,y) system (in radians)

Value

list of 3 elements : horizontal energy (double), slope energy (double) and diffuse rays (data.frame)
