In trenchproject/TrenchR: Tools for Microclimate and Biophysical Ecology

Hourly Solar Radiation

Description

The function estimates hourly solar radiation (W m^-2 hr^-1) as a function of daily global solar radiation (W m^-2 d^-1). Based on \insertCiteTham2010;textualTrenchR and \insertCiteAlRawahi2011;textualTrenchR.

Usage

diurnal_radiation_variation(doy, S, hour, lon, lat)

Arguments

doy	numeric the day of year.
S	numeric solar radiation (W m-2 d-1).
hour	numeric hour (0-24).
lon	numeric longitude (degrees).
lat	numeric latitude (degrees).

Value

numeric hourly solar radiation (W m^-2).
