read_uvspec_disort_vesa {photobiologyInOut}R Documentation

Read libRadtran's uvspec output file from batch job.

Description

Reads and parses the header and body of a text file output by a script used to run libRadtran's uvspec in a batch joib for a set of solar spectrum simulations. The header and time and date fields are converted into a datetime object.

Usage

read_uvspec_disort_vesa(
  file,
  date = NULL,
  geocode = NULL,
  label = NULL,
  tz = NULL,
  locale = readr::default_locale(),
  multiplier = 1e-06,
  simplify = TRUE
)

Arguments

file

character string

date

a POSIXct object to use to set the "when.measured" attribute. If NULL, the default, the date is extracted from the file header.

geocode

A data frame with columns lon and lat used to set attribute "where.measured".

label

character string, but if NULL the value of file is used, and if NA the "what.measured" attribute is not set.

tz

character Time zone is by default read from the file.

locale

The locale controls defaults that vary from place to place. The default locale is US-centric (like R), but you can use locale to create your own locale that controls things like the default time zone, encoding, decimal mark, big mark, and day/month names.

multiplier

numeric A multiplier for conversion into W m-2 nm-1, as the units of expression of the output from "uvspec" depend on the units in which the extraterrestrial solar spectrum data is expressed.

simplify

logical Remove redundant columns from returned object.

Value

a source_spct object, possibly containing several spectra in long form and a datetime column.
