Package 'Ts'

Calculate the Surface Temperature (Ts)

Description

This function calculates the surface temperature (Ts) from three rasters: albedo, NDVI, and air temperature (Ta). The resulting Ts raster will have the same unit as Ta.

Usage

calculate_Ts(albedo, ndvi, Ta, output_path = NULL, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

albedo	RasterLayer/SpatRaster of albedo values
ndvi	RasterLayer/SpatRaster of NDVI values
Ta	RasterLayer/SpatRaster of air temperature (Ta) in Kelvin
output_path	File path to save the Ts raster (optional)
verbose	Logical; if TRUE, prints information about dry/wet edges, T_min/T_max, and unit info. Default is TRUE.

Value

SpatRaster of surface temperature (Ts) in the same unit as Ta

Examples

library(terra)

albedo_raster <- rast(system.file("extdata", "albedo_mini.tif", package = "Ts"))
Ta_raster     <- rast(system.file("extdata", "Ta_mini.tif", package = "Ts"))
ndvi_raster   <- rast(system.file("extdata", "ndvi_mini.tif", package = "Ts"))

output_path <- tempfile(fileext = ".tif")

calculate_Ts(
  albedo = albedo_raster,
  Ta     = Ta_raster,
  ndvi   = ndvi_raster,
  output_path = output_path,
  verbose = TRUE
)

print(output_path)
