Soil_Inertia0 computes the soil thermal inertia GAM directly from the soil specific heat, bulk density and thermal conductivity, used when options.soil_heat_method == 0 in the SCOPE energy balance.

Usage

Soil_Inertia0(cs, rhos, lambdas)

Arguments

cs

numeric. Soil specific heat capacity (J kg^-1 K^-1).

rhos

numeric. Soil bulk density (kg m^-3).

lambdas

numeric. Soil thermal conductivity (W m^-1 K^-1).

Value

numeric. Soil thermal inertia GAM (J m^-2 K^-1 s^-1/2), used to compute the soil heat flux.
