LIBERTY model

Leaf radiative transfer model designed for conifer needles.

Usage

liberty(inputLUT)

Arguments

inputLUT

a named numeric vector or one-row data frame with the Liberty model input parameters

Value

Length 4 list containing modeled reflectance, transmittance, wavelengths, and R (?).

Details

Note that these coefficients are based on the original values from Dawson et al. (1998). Improved specific absorption coefficients are available from later work by Di Vittorio (2009).
