|Describe input parameters=The input variables for modeling the net flux of shortwave radiation are defined as follows: | |||
Tair = air temperature (deg C) | |||
RH = relative humidity (unitless) (in (0,1)) | |||
albedo = surface albedo (unitless) (in (0,1)) | |||
dust att. = dust attenuation factor (unitless) (in (0,1)) | |||
factor = cloud or canopy cover factor (unitless) (in (0,1)) | |||
slope = topographic slope (unitless, m/m) (in (0,Infinity)) | |||
aspect = aspect angle (radians) (in (0,1)) | |||
The behavior of this component is controlled with a configuration (CFG) file, which may point to other files that contain input data. Here is a sample configuration (CFG) file for this component: | |||
