Format

object_mspct collection object with six object_spct member objects, each with 651 rows and 3 variables

Note

We thank H. M. Noda for allowing us to include these data in our package. We have included here only data for two leaves from one species (Betula ermanii) and for wavelengths shorter than 1000 nm, from the much larger original data set. The whole data set is publicly available and the data easy to read into R. The data included here where measured with a Li-Cor LI-1800 spectroradiometer equipped with a LI-1800-12 (Li-Cor) integrating sphere, and consequently are for total reflectance and total transmittance. Further details on methods are available through the JaLTER web site. If you use these data in a publication, please cite the original source as given under references and contact the original author. In addition cite this package.

Data from PhotochemCAD 2.1a has been munged on 2 June 2017 by Scott Prahl (https://omlc.org/) to make the information available to non-Windows users. Although he has tried to be as careful as possible, he may have introduced some error; the cautious user is advised to compare these results with the original sources at https://www.photochemcad.com/ (Du et al., 1998; Dixon et al., 2005).

Fluorescence emission was measured using a Spex FluoroMax. The excitation and emission monochromators were set at 1 mm, giving a spectral bandwidth of 4.25 nm. The data interval was 0.5 nm and the integration time was 2.0 sec. Samples were prepared in 1cm path length quartz cells with absorbance less than 0.1 at the excitation and all emission wavelengths to uniformly illuminate across the sample, and to avoid the inner-filter effect. The dark counts were subtracted and the spectra were corrected for wavelength-dependent instrument sensitivity.

Although he has tried to be as careful as possible, he may have introduced some error; the cautious user is advised to compare these results with the original sources (Du et al., 1998; Dixon et al., 2005).

The spectral absorption measurements of chlorophyll aa in methanol, chlorophyll aa and chlorophyll bb in diethyl ether were made by J. Li on 12-11-1997 using a Cary 3 spectrophotometer. The absorption values were collected using a spectral bandwidth of 1.0 nm, a signal averaging time of 0.133 sec, a data interval of 0.25 nm, and a scan rate of 112.5 nm/min.

Chlorophyll aa measurements were scaled to make the molar extinction coefficient match the value of 111700 cm-1/M at 417.8 nm. These values were then interpolated to report extinction coefficients at regular 1 nm intervals. The reported molar extinction coefficient is from Strain et al. (1963).

Chlorophyll bb measurements were scaled to make the molar extinction coefficient match the value of 159100 cm-1/M at 453.0 nm. These values were then interpolated to report extinction coefficients at regular 1 nm intervals. The reported molar extinction coefficient is from Vernon and Seely (1966).

Evapotranspiration

Description

Compute an estimate of reference (= potential) evapotranspiration from meteorologial data. Evapotranspiration from vegetation includes transpiraction by plants plus evaporation from the soil or other wet surfaces. ET0ET_0 is the reference value assuming no limitation to transpiration due to soil water, similar to potential evapotranspiration (PET). An actual evapotranpiration value ETET can be estimated only if additional information on the plants and soil is available.

Usage

ET_ref(
  temperature,
  water.vp,
  wind.speed,
  net.irradiance,
  nighttime = FALSE,
  atmospheric.pressure = 10.13,
  soil.heat.flux = 0,
  method = "FAO.PM",
  check.range = TRUE
)

ET_ref_day(
  temperature,
  water.vp,
  wind.speed,
  net.radiation,
  atmospheric.pressure = 10.13,
  soil.heat.flux = 0,
  method = "FAO.PM",
  check.range = TRUE
)

Arguments

temperature

numeric vector of air temperatures (C) at 2 m height.

water.vp

numeric vector of water vapour pressure in air (Pa).

wind.speed

numeric Wind speed (m/s) at 2 m height.

net.irradiance

numeric Long wave and short wave balance (W/m2).

nighttime

logical Used only for methods that distinguish between daytime- and nighttime canopy conductances.

atmospheric.pressure

numeric Atmospheric pressure (Pa).

soil.heat.flux

numeric Soil heat flux (W/m2), positive if soil temperature is increasing.

method

character The name of an estimation method.

check.range

logical Flag indicating whether to check or not that arguments for temperature are within range of method. Passed to function calls to water_vp_sat() and water_vp_sat_slope().

net.radiation

numeric Long wave and short wave balance (J/m2/day).

Details

Currently three methods, based on the Penmann-Monteith equation formulated as recommended by FAO56 (Allen et al., 1998) as well as modified in 2005 for tall and short vegetation according to ASCE-EWRI are implemented in function ET_ref(). The computations rely on data measured according WHO standards at 2 m above ground level to estimate reference evapotranspiration (ET0ET_0). The formulations are those for ET expressed in mm/h, but modified to use as input flux rates in W/m2 and pressures expressed in Pa.

Value

A numeric vector of reference evapotranspiration estimates expressed in mm/h for ET_ref() and in mm/d for ET_ref_day().

We thank H. M. Noda for allowing us to include these data in our package. We have included here only data for two leaves from one species (Solidago altissima) and for wavelengths shorter than 1000 nm, from the much larger original data set. The whole data set is publicly available and the data easy to read into R. The data included here where measured with a Li-Cor LI-1800 spectroradiometer equipped with a LI-1800-12 (Li-Cor) integrating sphere, and consequently are for total reflectance and total transmittance. Further details on methods are available through the JaLTER web site.

Details

Function water_vp_sat() provides implementations of several well known equations for the estimation of saturation vapor pressure in air. Functions water_dp() and water_fp() use the inverse of these equations to compute the dew point or frost point from water vapour pressure in air. The inverse functions are either analytical solutions or fitted approximations. None of these functions are solved numerically by iteration.

Method "tetens" implements Tetens' (1930) equation for the cases of equilibrium with a water and an ice surface. Method "magnus" implements the modified Magnus equations of Alduchov and Eskridge (1996, eqs. 21 and 23). Method "wexler" implements the equations proposed by Wexler (1976, 1977), and their inverse according to Hardy (1998). Method "goff.gratch" implements the equations of Groff and Gratch (1946) with the minor updates of Groff (1956).

The equations are approximations, and in spite of their different names, Tetens' and Magnus' equations have the same form with the only difference in the values of the parameters. However, the modified Magnus equation is more accurate as Tetens equation suffers from some bias errors at extreme low temperatures (< -40 C). In contrast Magnus equations with recently fitted values for the parameters are usable for temperatures from -80 C to +50 C over water and -80 C to 0 C over ice. The Groff Gratch equation is more complex and is frequently used as a reference in comparison as it is considered reliable over a broad range of temperatures. Wexler's equations are computationally simpler and fitted to relatively recent data. There is little difference at temperatures in the range -20 C to +50 C, and differences become large at extreme temperatures. Temperatures outside the range where estimations are highly reliable for each equation return NA, unless extrapolation is enabled by passing FALSE as argument to parameter check.range.

The switch between equations for ice or water cannot be based on air temperature, as it depends on the presence or not of a surface of liquid water. It must be set by passing an argument to parameter over.ice which defaults to FALSE.

Tetens equation is still very frequently used, and is for example the one recommended by FAO for computing potential evapotranspiration. For this reason it is used as default here.

Value

A numeric vector of partial pressures in pascal (Pa) for water_vp_sat() and water_mvc2vp(), a numeric vector of dew point temperatures (C) for water_dp() and numeric vector of mass per volume concentrations (gm3g m^{-3}) for water_vp2mvc(). water_vp_sat() and psychrometric_constant() both return numeric vectors of pressure per degree of temperature (PaC1Pa C^{-1})

Note

The inverse of the Groff Gratch equation has yet to be implemented.
