⚠️There's a newer version (2.3-3) of this package.Take me there.

sirad (version 2.0-2)

Functions for calculating daily solar radiation and evapotranspiration

Description

Package provides functions to calculate daily solar radiation at horizontal surface using several well-known models. It also includes functions for model calibration based on groud-truth data as well as a function for auto-calibration. The FAO Penmann-Monteith equation to calculate evapotranspiration is also included.
