RADIN4 VARIABLES
- Variable names in sequential order -
AVERAD: Total visible radiation measured with a horizontal sensor above
the canopy. Identical with RADSOL and RADTOP(2,IHR) in MAIN.
AIRMAS: A measure of the pathway length that solar radiation travels
through the atmosphere.
POTBM1: Potential direct beam visible radiation at the earth's surface.
POTDIF: Potential diffuse visible radiation at the earth's surface.
POTVIS: Potential total visible radiation at the earth's surface.
POTBM2: Potential direct beam NIR radiation at the earth's surface.
WATABS: Solar NIR radiation absorbed by atmospheric water.
EVAL: Potential diffuse NIR radiation at the earth's surface.
POTNIR: Potential total NIR radiation at the earth's surface.
RATIO: Ratio of actual total NIR radiation over the potential
total visible and NIR radiation.
RADABV(1,IHR): Ratio of the actual total visible radiation over
the potential total visible radiation.
RADABV(2,IHR): Ratio of the actual total NIR radiation over the
potential total NIR radiation.
IPOT: Index indicating method of calculation for RATIO(IHR),=1: fixed
input of RATION and RATIOD,=0: calc in RADIN4 for every hour.
RATIOD: Input variable for the ratio of actual total radiation
in the NIR over the potential total visible and NIR radiation
during the day.
RATION: Input variable for the ratio of actual total NIR radiation over
potential total radiation during the night.
FB1: Ratio of potential direct beam visible radiation over
potential total visible radiation.
FB2: Ratio of potential direct beam NIR radiation over the
potential total NIR radiation.
FBEAM1(1,IHR): Ratio of the actual direct beam visible radiation
over the actual total visible radiation.
FBEAM1(2,IHR): Ratio of the actual direct beam NIR radiation
over the total NIR radiation.
