Usage

Solar(lat, Jday, Tx, Tn, albedo=0.2, forest=0, slope=0, aspect = 0,
 units="kJm2d", latUnits = "unknown", printWarn=TRUE)

Arguments

lat

latitdue [rad]

Jday

Julian date or day of the year [day]

Tx

maximum daily temperature [C]

Tn

minimum daily temperature [C]

albedo

surface albedo or reflectivity [-]

forest

forest or vegeation cover [-]

slope

slope of the ground [rad]

aspect

ground aspect [rad from north]

units

Units of the result. Defaults to kJ/m2/d, changing this to "Wm2" will make output in W/m2

latUnits

Latitude units can be explicitly stated here, options are 'radians', 'degrees' or default is 'unknown', which will assume radians unless the absolute value of lat is greater than pi/2

printWarn

Will print a warning about latitude if set to TRUE
