downward shortwave radiation to PAR

Description

calculate photosynthetically available radiation (PAR) from incident downward shortwave radiation (SWDN)

Usage

SWDN_2_PAR(SWDN)

Arguments

SWDN

numeric vector; downward shortwave radiation (W m-2)

Details

uses the mean result from Britton and Dodd (1976) table I. Averages the tables two values for Apr-May together, then averages all bimonthly averages.

Value

numeric vector containing PAR values (umol m-2 s-1)
