GEN_M_q_fun: Gives values for GPAS BSWF (Micheletti's formulation) as a function of wavelength

Description

This function gives a set of numeric multipliers that can be used as a weight to calculate effective doses and irradiances. The BSWF is normalized at 300 nm.

Usage

GEN_M_q_fun(w.length)

Arguments

w.length

numeric array of w.length (nm)

Value

a numeric array of the same length as w.length with values for the BSWF normalized as in the original source. The returned values are based on quantum effectiveness units.
