Calculating net solar (shortware radiation) Rns

Description

The net shortwave radiation resulting from the balance between incoming and reflected solar radiation.

Usage

cal_netSolarRadiation(alpha, Rs)

Arguments

alpha	albedo or canopy reflection coefficient, which is 0.23 for the hypothetical grass reference crop [dimensionless].
Rs	the incoming solar radiation [MJ m-2 day-1]. From cal_solarRadiation()

Value

A vector for net solar or shortwave radiation [MJ m-2 day-1].
