converts evaporative water flux from mass (ET=evapotranspiration) to energy (LE=latent heat flux) units, or vice versa.
LE.to.ET(LE, Tair)ET.to.LE(ET, Tair)
ET.to.LE(ET, Tair)
Latent heat flux (W m-2)
Air temperature (deg C)
Evapotranspiration (kg m-2 s-1)
The conversions are given by:
$$ET = LE/\lambda$$
$$LE = \lambda ET$$
where \(\lambda\) is the latent heat of vaporization (J kg-1) as calculated by latent.heat.vaporization.
latent.heat.vaporization
# LE of 200 Wm-2 and air temperature of 25degC LE.to.ET(200,25)
