sirad (version 2.3-3)

Functions for Calculating Daily Solar Radiation and Evapotranspiration

Description

Calculating daily global solar radiation at horizontal surface using several well-known models (i.e. Angstrom-Prescott, Supit-Van Kappel, Hargreaves, Bristow and Campbell, and Mahmood-Hubbard), and model calibration based on ground-truth data, and (3) model auto-calibration. The FAO Penmann-Monteith equation to calculate evapotranspiration is also included.
