read_uvspec_disort

R Documentation

Read libRadtran's uvspec output file.

Description

Read and parse a text file output by libRadtran's uvspec routine for a solar spectrum simulation. The output of uvspec depends among other things on the solver used. We define a family of functions, each function for a different solver.

Usage

read_uvspec_disort(
  file,
  date = NULL,
  geocode = NULL,
  label = NULL,
  tz = NULL,
  locale = readr::default_locale(),
  multiplier = 0.001,
  qty = "irradiance"
)

Arguments

`file`	character string
`date`	a `POSIXct` object to use to set the `"when.measured"` attribute. If `NULL`, the default, the date is extracted from the file header.
`geocode`	A data frame with columns `lon` and `lat` used to set attribute `"where.measured"`.
`label`	character string, but if `NULL` the value of `file` is used, and if `NA` the "what.measured" attribute is not set.
`tz`	character Time zone is by default read from the file.
`locale`	The locale controls defaults that vary from place to place. The default locale is US-centric (like R), but you can use `locale` to create your own locale that controls things like the default time zone, encoding, decimal mark, big mark, and day/month names.
`multiplier`	numeric A multiplier for conversion into W m-2 nm-1, as the units of expression of the output from "uvspec" depend on the units in which the extraterrestrial solar spectrum data is expressed.
`qty`	character "uvspec" returns both irradiance and intensity with solver "disort".
