latent_penman: Latent Heat Penman Method

latent_penmanR Documentation

Latent Heat Penman Method

Description

Calculates the latent heat flux using the Penman-Monteith equation. Negative heat flux signifies flux away from the surface, positive values signify flux towards the surface.

Usage

latent_penman(...)

## S3 method for class 'POSIXt'
latent_penman(datetime, v, t, hum, z = 2, rad_bal, elev, lat, lon, ...)

## S3 method for class 'weather_station'
latent_penman(weather_station, ...)

Arguments

...

Additional parameters passed to later functions.

hum

Relative humidity in %.

z

Height of measurement for t, v in m.

rad_bal

Radiation balance in W/m².

elev

Elevation above sea level in m.

lat

Latitude in decimal degrees.

lon

Longitude in decimal degrees.

weather_station

Object of class weather_station.

Value

Latent heat flux in W/m².
