get_latent_heat_flux

cosipy.modules.surfaceTemperature.get_latent_heat_flux(rho, Lv, Cs_q, u2, dq, cos_slope)

Get latent heat flux.

Parameters:

• rho (float) – Air density, [kg m ^-3].

• Lv (float) – Latent heat of vapourisation, [J \(\cdot\) kg ^-1].

• Cs_q (float) – Dalton number, [-].

• u2 (float) – Wind velocity, [m s ^-1].

• dq (float) – Difference in mixing ratio between the surface and measurement height.

• cos_slope (float) – Cosine of slope angle, [rad].

Returns:

Latent heat flux, [W m ^-2].

Return type:

float
