class Burridge_iswr : public module_base#

Computes incoming shortwave direct and diffuse beam radiation using a cloud fraction.

Depends:

  • Cloud fraction “cloud_frac” (-)

  • Solar elevation “solar_el” (degrees)

Provides:

  • Shortwave direct beam without slope correction “iswr_direct_no_slope” \([W \cdot m^{-2}\)]

  • Shortwave diffuse beam without slope correction “iswr_diffuse_no_slope” \([W \cdot m^{-2}\)]

  • Atmospheric transmittance, [0,1] “atm_trans” [-]

Configuration:

  • None

Public Functions

Burridge_iswr(config_file cfg)#
~Burridge_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
