Calculation of the shortwave radiation onto a horizontal area on the ground.

rad_sw_in(...)

# S3 method for numeric
rad_sw_in(rad_sw_toa, trans_total, ...)

# S3 method for weather_station
rad_sw_in(weather_station, trans_total = NULL, oz = 0.35, vis = 30, ...)

Arguments

...

Additional parameters passed to later functions.

rad_sw_toa

Shortwave radiation at top of atmosphere in W/m^2.

trans_total

Total transmittance of the atmosphere.

weather_station

Object of class weather_station.

oz

OPTIONAL. Needed if trans_total = NULL. Columnar ozone in cm. Default is average global value.

vis

OPTIONAL. Needed if trans_total = NULL. Meteorological visibility in km. Default is the visibility on a clear day.

Value

Shortwave radiation on the ground onto a horizontal area in W/m^2.
