evapoIntercept(rH, alpha = 1.26, delta, gamma = 0.066, rnc)

surfaceWetness(rH)

Arguments

rH

Relative humidity in %.

alpha

numeric. Priestley and Taylor (1972) constant, see potentialEvaporation.

delta

Slope of the saturation vapor pressure curve in kPa / deg C, typically derived from vaporPressureSat.

gamma

numeric. Psychrometric constant, defaults to 0.066 kPa / deg C as proposed by Fisher et al. (2008).

rnc

Net radiation to the canopy in W^2 / m^2.

Value

Interception evaporation in W^2 / m^2.
