SEBS Estimation of Evapotranspiration Fraction

Description

sebs computes Su (2002) Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) for estimation of turbulent heat fluxes

Usage

sebs(albedo, Ts, Tmax, Tmin, RHmax = NULL, RHmin = NULL, n = NULL, NDVI,
  SAVI, iter.max = 7, xyhot, xycold, DOY, sunelev, welev, zx, u, zomw,
  zom = NULL, LAI = NULL, DEM = NULL, lapse = 0.0065, Rn24 = NULL,
  wmo = NULL, airport = NULL, Krs = 0.16, surface = "grass",
  latitude = NULL, model = "SEBS", clip = NULL, folder = NULL)

## Default S3 method:
sebs(albedo = NULL, Ts, Tmax, Tmin, RHmax = NULL,
  RHmin = NULL, n = NULL, NDVI, SAVI, iter.max = 7, xyhot = "auto",
  xycold = "auto", DOY = NULL, sunelev, welev, zx = 10, u = 2,
  zomw = 2, zom = NULL, LAI = NULL, DEM = NULL, lapse = 0.0065,
  Rn24 = NULL, wmo = NULL, airport = NULL, Krs = 0.16,
  surface = "grass", latitude = NULL, model = "SEBS", clip = NULL,
  folder = NULL)

Arguments

albedo

A RasterLayer data that has albedo values. You can also provide file path or location on your computer

Ts

A RasterLayer data that indicates radiometric surface temperature values from remote sensing image, preferably in Kelvin (K). You can also point to raster file on your computer.

Tmax

Numeric. Maximum air Temperature in degree Celsius

Tmin

Numeric. Minimum air Temperature in degree Celsius

RHmax

Maximum Relative Humidity in percent

RHmin

Minimum Relative Humidity in percent

n

Sunshine hours

NDVI

A RasterLayer data that indicates NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) values. You can also point to a file on your computer.

SAVI

A RasterLayer data that indicates SAVI(Soil-adjusted Vegetation Index) values. You can also point to file on your computer.

iter.max

maximum iterations of sensible heat calculation.

xyhot

numeric or "auto". A list of x and y coordinates of a hot pixel in the form c(x,y). If it is set to "auto", hotTs will be used to compute it.

xycold

numeric or "auto". A list of x and y coordinates of a cold pixel in the form of c(x,y). If it set to "auto", coldTs will be used to compute it.

DOY

Numeric or Date [YYYY-mm-dd]. Day of the Year. If you give data in the form of date [YYYY-mm-dd], it will be converted to DOY

sunelev

Angle of Sun elevation in degrees, as found in the meta data of the satellite image

welev

Weather station elevation in meters

zx

The height above the weather station where the wind speed is measured [m]

u

The satellites overpass time wind speed at the weather station [m/s]

zomw

the roughness length for the weather station surface [m]

zom

the momentum roughness length for each pixel [m]. You can also point to a raster file on your computer

LAI

Leaf Area Index, dimensionless

DEM

A digital elevation model[m]

lapse

A local lapse rate that is applied to correct DEM [K/m]. Default value is 0.0065

Rn24

A 24 hour net radiation [W/m2]. It is needed to estimate daily ET. It can be computed with ETo with even a minimal data of Tmax and Tmin. You can also point to raster file on your computer

wmo

numeric. World Meteorological Organization weather station code. You can use the Worldwide Station List at https://www.wunderground.com/about/faq/international_cities.asp [Accessed on 2016-5-6] or http://www.wetterzentrale.de/klima/stnlst.html [Accessed on 2016-5-6]

airport

numeric. IATA or ICAO code. They are alphabetically listed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airports_by_IATA_code:_A [Accessed on 2016-5-6]

Krs

Relationship between the fraction of extraterrestrial radiation that reaches the earth's surface, Rs/Ra, and the air temperature difference Tmax - Tmin for interior (Krs = 0.16) and coastal (Krs = 0.19) regions

surface

character. It is either "grass" or "alfalfa"

latitude

geographical coordinates in decimal degrees. It should be negative for southern hemisphere

model

character. The type of model. It takes either "SEBAL" or "METRIC"

clip

extent object or raster object or polygon from which an Extent object can be extracted. A polygon or raster will be reprojected to conform the data to be cropped. for example clip can take the form of c(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)

folder

An original directory of the images that contains all landsat 5,7 or 8 bands and metadata. At the moment only Landsat folder is supported

Details

Function ETo will be automatically used to estimate parameters y (psychrometric constant), slope (slope of saturation vapour pressure curve) and vpd (Vapour pressure deficit). For information on data input procedure see 'details' at sebal

Value

EF Evapotranspiration Fraction
