Class Documentation

class Iqbal_iswr : public module_base

Estimates incoming shortwave direct and diffuse beams without slope correction.

Depends:

• Air temperature “t” [ \({}^\circ C \)]

• Relative humidity “rh” [%]

• Cloud fraction “cloud_frac” [-]

• Solar elevation “solar_el” [degrees]

Provides:

• Incoming solar shortwave radiation, direct beam, no slope adjustment “iswr_direct_no_slope” [ \( W \cdot m^{-2}\)]

• Incoming solar shortwave radiation, diffuse beam, no slope adjustment “iswr_diffuse_no_slope” [ \( W \cdot m^{-2}\)]

• Atmospheric transmittance “atm_trans” [-]

Public Functions

Iqbal_iswr(config_file cfg)

~Iqbal_iswr()

virtual void run(mesh_elem &face)

Needs to be implemented by each data parallel module. This will be called and executed for each timestep

Parameters:

• face – The terrain element (triangle) to be worked upon for an element parallel domain

• global_param – A pointer to the shared global paramter space with domain-wide paramters
