cal_soilHeatFlux_monthly {simET}

Calculating soil heat flux(G) for monthly periods

Description

When assuming a constant soil heat capacity of 2.1 MJ m-3 °C-1 and an appropriate soil depth, cal_soilHeatFlux_general can be used to derive G for monthly periods.

Usage

cal_soilHeatFlux_monthly(T1, T0, Tmonth2 = TRUE)

Arguments

T1

air temperature at time i [degrees Celsius].

T0

air temperature at time i-1 [degrees Celsius].

Tmonth2

Is the mean air temperature of next month know?

Value

A vector for soil heat flux [MJ m-2 day-1]
