Hourly Temperature Variation assuming Sine and Exponential Components

Description

The function estimates temperature across hours using a diurnal temperature variation function incorporating sine and exponential components \insertCiteParton1981TrenchR.

Usage

diurnal_temp_variation_sineexp(
  T_max,
  T_min,
  t,
  t_r,
  t_s,
  alpha = 2.59,
  beta = 1.55,
  gamma = 2.2
)

Arguments

T_max, T_min	numeric maximum and minimum daily temperatures (C).
t	numeric time for temperature estimate (hour).
t_r, t_s	numeric times of sunrise and sunset (hour).
alpha	numeric time difference between t_x (time of maximum temperature) and noon (hour).
beta	numeric time difference between t_x and sunrise (hour).
gamma	numeric decay parameter for rate of t change from sunset to t_n (time of minimum temp).

Details

Default alpha, beta, and gamma values are the average of 5 North Carolina sites \insertCiteWann1985TrenchR.

Other alpha, beta, and gamma parameterizations include values for Denver, Colorado from \insertCiteParton1981;textualTrenchR:

• 150 cm air temperature: alpha = 1.86, beta = 2.20, gamma = -0.17

• 10 cm air temperature: alpha = 1.52, beta = 2.00, gamma = -0.18

• soil surface temperature: alpha = 0.50, beta = 1.81, gamma = 0.49

• 10cm soil temperature: alpha = 0.45, beta = 2.28, gamma = 1.83

Value

numeric temperature (C) at a specified hour.
