Description

Evaporative fraction (EF) is the ration between Latent heat and the sum of sensible heat and latent heat. EF is used to "characterize the energy partition over land surfaces" \insertCitenichols_evaluation_1993ecofunr.

uWUE = LE / (LE + H)

  prob = 0.9
)

Arguments

LE

Latent heat (units).

H

Sensible heat (units).

dates

Dates vector.

aggregation.time

Can be "NULL", "day", "month", "year", growing season "gs". if it's a number it's considered as a time window in number of days. If "optim" the optimum number of days will be estimate to reduce the sd of each chunck. See aggreg.

aggregation.metric

Can be "mean", "max", "min", "median", and "quant". if "quant" a number between 0 and 1 need to be provided for prob parameter.

overlapping

Can be "NULL" or a number. If it's a number equivale to the parameter by of the rollapply function.

prob

Only used if aggregation.metric is "quant", a number between 0 and 1. By default 0.9.

Value

An object of class "vector".
