longwave radiative transfer conductance of the canopy (m s-1)
Arguments
Tair
Air temperature (deg C)
LAI
Leaf area index (m2 m-2)
constants
Kelvin - conversion degree Celsius to Kelvin
sigma - Stefan-Boltzmann constant (W m-2 K-4)
cp - specific heat of air for constant pressure (J K-1 kg-1)
Details
the following formula is used (Martin, 1989):
$$Gr = 4 \sigma Tair^3 LAI / cp$$
