S-SEBI Evapotranspiration Fraction

Description

ssebi computes Roerink et. al (2000) S-SEBI: A simple remote sensing algorithm to estimate the surface energy balance.

Usage

ssebi(Ts, albedo = NULL, cluster = 100, threshold = 0.2, plot = TRUE,
  Rn24 = NULL, folder = NULL, welev = NULL)

## Default S3 method:
ssebi(Ts = NULL, albedo = NULL, cluster = 100,
  threshold = 0.2, plot = TRUE, Rn24 = NULL, folder = NULL,
  welev = NULL)

Arguments

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.

albedo

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

cluster

numeric, a value indicating the number of clusters.

threshold

numeric. Albedo inflection point threshold

plot

logical:TRUE or FALSE. To indicate if histograms or triangle should be plotted

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

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

welev

Weather station elevation in meters

Value

EF, amax,bmax,amin,bmin
