calc_rssrbs calculates the soil surface resistance to evaporation
(rss) as an empirical function of soil moisture content, and scales
the boundary-layer resistance of the soil (rbs) with leaf area index.
Usage
calc_rssrbs(SMC, LAI, rbs)
Arguments
- SMC
numeric. Soil moisture content (m^3 m^-3).
- LAI
numeric. Leaf area index of the canopy (m^2 m^-2).
- rbs
numeric. Boundary-layer resistance of the soil at reference LAI = 3.3 (s m^-1); overwritten in the returned list with the LAI-scaled value.
Value
A list with:
- rss
numeric. Soil surface resistance to evaporation (s m^-1), computed as 11.2 * exp(42 * (0.22 - SMC)).
- rbs
numeric. Soil boundary-layer resistance scaled by LAI (s m^-1), computed as rbs * LAI / 3.3.
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
rss_rbs <- calc_rssrbs(SMC, LAI, rbs)
} # }
