Incident Irradiance

Incident irradiance recipe for Pollination

This recipe calculates the incident irradiance for each time step provided by a wea file. The outputs are stored under results/direct and results/total. Nighttime hours are filtered before running the simulation. To match the results for each of the hours, see the list of hours in sun-up-hours.txt.

Methods

This recipe calculates the total amount of Radiation by calculating the direct sunlight radiation from sun disks and adding them to the contribution from indirect sky radiation.

incident_radiation = direct_sun_radiation + indirect_sky_radiation

The recipe is structured in a manner that ambient bounces are not included.
