TrenchR (version 1.1.1)

Tb_salamander_humid: Humid Operative Environmental Temperature of a Salamander

Description

The function estimates the humid body temperature (C, operative environmental temperature) using an adaptation of Campbell1998;textualTrenchR described in Riddell2018;textualTrenchR.

Usage

Tb_salamander_humid(r_i, r_b, D, T_a, elev, e_a, e_s, Qabs, epsilon = 0.96)

Value

numeric humid operative temperature (C).

Arguments

r_i

numeric internal (skin) resistance (s cm^-1).

r_b

numeric boundary layer resistance (s cm^-1).

D

numeric body diameter (m); can estimate as diameter = 0.0016*log(mass) + 0.0061 for mass(g).

T_a

numeric ambient temperature (C).

elev

numeric elevation (m).

e_a

numeric actual vapor pressure (kPa).

e_s

numeric saturation vapor pressure (kPa).

Qabs

numeric Solar and thermal radiation absorbed (W).

epsilon

numeric emissivity of salamander skin (proportion).
