microclima

The functions in the microclima package contain tools for modelling the mechanistic processes that govern fine-scale variation in temperature. It includes tools for determining local variation in temperature arising from variation in radiation, wind speed, altitude, surface albedo, coastal influences and cold air drainage. A series of functions for determining the fine-scale topographic and vegetation effects on wind speed and radiation are also provided. It also includes tools for deriving canopy cover, leaf architecture, surface albedo and cold air drainage basins from digital elevation data and aerial imagery.
