Tb_salamander_humid: Humid Operative Environmental Temperature of a Salamander

In TrenchR: Tools for Microclimate and Biophysical Ecology

Humid Operative Environmental Temperature of a Salamander

Description

The function estimates the humid body temperature (C, operative environmental temperature) using an adaptation of \insertCiteCampbell1998;textualTrenchR described in \insertCiteRiddell2018;textualTrenchR.

Usage

Tb_salamander_humid(r_i, r_b, D, T_a, elev, e_a, e_s, Qabs, epsilon = 0.96)

Arguments

r_i	numeric internal (skin) resistance (s cm-1).
r_b	numeric boundary layer resistance (s cm-1).
D	numeric body diameter (m); can estimate as diameter = 0.0016*log(mass) + 0.0061 for mass(g).
T_a	numeric ambient temperature (C).
elev	numeric elevation (m).
e_a	numeric actual vapor pressure (kPa).
e_s	numeric saturation vapor pressure (kPa).
Qabs	numeric Solar and thermal radiation absorbed (W).
epsilon	numeric emissivity of salamander skin (proportion).

Value

numeric humid operative temperature (C).
