Calculate the outgoing longwave radiation.

Usage

calc_longwave_radiation(
  temp,
  act_vapor_pressure,
  radiation_fraction,
  tmin = NULL,
  tmax = NULL
)

Arguments

temp

The air temperature in degrees C.

act_vapor_pressure

The actual vapor pressure. Can be calculated with calc_act_vapor_pressure.

radiation_fraction

The fraction of radiation relative to clear sky. Can be calculated with calc_radiation_fraction.

tmin

The daily minimum temperature. Defaults to NULL. If specified with tmax, they are used in place of temp.

tmax

The daily maximum temperature. Defaults to NULL. If specified with tmin, they are used in place of temp.

Value

The outgoing longwave radiation in MJ m^-2 day^-1.

Examples
