proj_collection_area: Calculate projected surface area of the collection apature

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Description

Calculates the projected area using the diameter of the instrument light collection apature and the viewing geometry of measurements (θv, °), expressed as an angle from the nadir (0°) viewing zenith. Diameter maybe given in um, mm, cm or m and specified using unit_in.

Usage

1
proj_collection_area(diameter, unit_in = "um", theta_v = 0)

Arguments

diameter

The ‘diameter’ (d) of the instrument light collection apature

unit_in

The units of length for diameter, c('um', 'mm', 'cm', 'm')

theta_v

The viewing geometry of measurements (θv, °), expressed as an angle from the nadir (0°) viewing zenith in degrees.

Value

Projected area of the collection apature (*A*cosθ, m2)

Examples

1
proj_collection_area(400, unit_in='um', theta_v=0)
