Description

Calculates solar radiant flux using the Delta-Eddington two stream approximation. This is used for modeling energy inputs using tmodel.

Output is a structure containing the fractional components of the radiant flux at the top and bottom of the atmosphere in addition to direct sunlight absorbed by the surface.

Arguments and Return Values

Returns a structure containing:

top     radiant component at the top of the atmosphere
bottom  non-direct radiant component at the bottom of the atmosphere
direct  direct radiant component absorbed by the surface

Usage

Syntax: rad_comps = deddi(g, w, tau, inc, alb)

g = Assymetry parameter
w = Single scattering albedo
tau = Opacity
inc = Incidence angle (degrees)
alb = Surface albedo

Examples

dv> rad = deddi(0.5,0.94,0.30,37,0.21)
struct, 3 elements
    top: 0.1931471676
    bottom: 0.1362098902
    direct: 0.5926877856
