Atmospheric Radiation

Calculate TUV in batch online

TUV models are available in both online and offline versions, but both require running on a daily basis (i.e., resetting parameters every day of the run).

tuv_batch() runs the online batch TUV by reading a time series of the proposed input parameters and their values, and aggregates the results to a new data frame.

tuv_batch() automates the online TUV calculation (https://www.acom.ucar.edu/Models/TUV/Interactive_TUV/).

Four output modes are supported:
Output mode 2: Molecular photolysis frequencies (109 photoreactions). Molecular photolysis frequencies (109 photoreactions).
Output mode 3: Weighted irradiance (27 weighting functions).
Output mode 4: Spectral actinic flux.
Output mode 5: Spectral irradiance.
