Tsoil: Approximate Soil Temperature

In TrenchR: Tools for Microclimate and Biophysical Ecology

Approximate Soil Temperature

Description

The function estimates soil temperature (C) at a given depth and hour by approximating diurnal variation as sinusoidal. The function is adapted from \insertCiteCampbell1998;textualTrenchR and described in \insertCiteRiddell2018;textualTrenchR.

Usage

Tsoil(T_g_max, T_g_min, hour, depth)

Arguments

T_g_max	numeric daily maximum soil surface temperature (C).
T_g_min	numeric daily minimum soil surface temperature (C).
hour	numeric hour of the day.
depth	numeric depth (cm).

Value

numeric soil temperature (C).
