SWtrasmisivity: Calculates short wave transmisivity
In midraed/water: Actual Evapotranspiration with Energy Balance Models

Description Usage Arguments Author(s) References See Also

Short wave transmisivity is estimated for broad-band considering an extended equation developed by Allen (1996), based from Majumdar et al.(1972), using coefficients developed by ASCE-EWRI (2005).

1	SWtrasmisivity(Kt = 1, ea, dem, incidence.hor)

`Kt`	unitless turbidity coefficient 0<Kt<=1.0, where Kt=1.0 for clean air and Kt=0.5 for extremely turbid, dusty, or polluted air
`ea`	near-surface vapor pressure (kPa)
`dem`	digital elevation model
`incidence.hor`	solar incidence angle, considering plain surface
