external_resistance_to_water_vapor_transfer.RdThe function estimate external resistance to water vapor transfer using the Lewis rule relating heat and mass transport (Spotila et al. 1992)
external_resistance_to_water_vapor_transfer(H, ecp = 12000)numeric heat transfer (convection) coefficient (W m-2 K-1).
numeric aggregate parameter (J m-3 K-1) that is the product of the density of air (kg m-3) and the specific heat of air at constant pressure (J kg-1 K-1). Default of 12000 (J m-3 K-1) commonly assumed.
numeric external resistance to water vapor transfer (s m-1).
