SOLAR_ecto

Description

R version of Fortran SOLAR.f (ectotherm model) for calculating absorbed solar radiation.

Usage

  ATOT = 0.01325006,
  ASIL = 0.004718043,
  AV = 0.001325006,
  AT = 0,
  ABSAN = 0.85,
  ABSSB = 0.8,
  FATOSK = 0.4,
  FATOSB = 0.4,
  FATOBJ = 0,
  ZEN = 20 * pi/180,
  QSOLR = 1000,
  PDIF = 0.1,
  SHADE = 0,
  postur = 1,
  LIVE = 1
)

Arguments

ATOT	surface area for solar exchange, m2
ASIL	silouette area for solar exchange, m2
AV	ventral area for solar exchange with substrate, m2
AT	total surface area touching another animal, m2
ABSAN	solar absorptivity of animal (fractional, 0-1)
ABSSB	solar absorptivity of substrate (fractional, 0-1)
FATOSK	radiation configuration factor to sky (fractional, 0-1)
FATOBJ	radiation configuration factor to ground (fractional, 0-1)
ZEN	solar zenith angle (radians)
QSOLR	incident solar radiation, W.m2
PDIF	proportion of solar radiation that is diffuse (fractional, 0-1)
SHADE	shade (%)
postur	postural orientation to sun, 1 = perpendicular, 2 = parallel, 0 = half way between
LIVE	is the organism able to track the sun?, 1 = yes, 0 = no
