Class Documentation

class Sicart_ilwr : public module_base

Calculates longwave radiation from the atmosphere (including skyview correction) for clear and cloudy days following Sicart, et al (2006)

Depends:

• Air temp “t” [ \( {}^\circ C \)]

• Relative humidity “rh” [%]

• Incoming shortwave radiation “iswr” [ \( W \cdot m^{-2}\)]

• Atmospheric transmittance “atm_trans” [-]

• Cloud fraction “cloud_frac” [-]

Provides:

• Incoming longwave “ilwr” [W/m^2]

Parameters:

• Optionally Sky View Factor “svf” [-]

~Sicart_ilwr()

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
