insert_hinges: Insert wavelength values into spectral data.

Description

Inserting wavelengths values immediately before and after a discontinuity in the SWF, greatly reduces the errors caused by interpolating the weighted irradiance during integration of the effective spectral irradiance. This is specially true when data have a large wavelength step size.

Usage

insert_hinges(x, y, h)

Arguments

x

numeric array (sorted in increasing order)

y

numeric array

h

a numeric array giving the wavelengths at which the y values should be inserted by interpolation, no interpolation is indicated by an empty array (numeric(0))

Value

• a data.frame with variables x and y

Examples

with(sun.data,
    insert_hinges(w.length, s.e.irrad,
       c(399.99, 400.00, 699.99, 700.00)))
with(sun.data,
    insert_hinges(w.length, s.e.irrad,
      c(100, 399.50, 399.99, 400.00, 699.99, 700.00, 799.99, 1000)))
