air_temp_profile_neutral {TrenchR}

Air Temperature at a Specified Height Under Neutral Conditions

Description

The function calculates air temperature (C) at a specified height (m) within a boundary layer near the surface. The velocity profile is the neutral profile described by Sellers (1965). Function is included as equations (2) and (3) of Porter et al. (1973).

Usage

air_temp_profile_neutral(T_r, zr, z0, z, T_s)

Arguments

T_r

numeric air temperature (C) at reference height.

zr

numeric initial reference height (m).

z0

numeric surface roughness (m).

z

numeric height to scale to (m).

T_s

numeric surface temperatures (C).

Value

numeric air temperature (C).
