Thanks guys! the equation is for cloudless days only--which isn't a problem , given the location of my study (phoenix , az). however, atmospheric pressure, precipitable water vapor in the atmosphere, and albedo are taken into account in the equation. Regarding the use of empirical insolation...

I have found an equation in an article which will give me the spectral irradiance due to sunlight as function of longitude, latitude, atmospheric pressure, surface albedo, and precipitable water vapor. I haven't really worked with these sorts of problems before, so my question is how to turn...

anyone ?

Looks like I forgot the include the thickness of the rock, X, in the equation. should look like this: H= k*A(Tout-Tin)/x

Hi All, I am hoping to create an equation which I can use to describe the thermodynamic properties of microhabitats used by Chuckwalla lizards. Basically,the habitat in question is a crevice that is shaped like a rectangular prism within an igneous rock. I am trying to develop an equation that...
