DESCRIPTION

       i.eb.netrad  calculates the net radiation at the time of satellite overpass, the way it is
       in the SEBAL model of Bastiaanssen (1995).  It takes input of Albedo, NDVI,  Surface  Skin
       temperature,  time  of  satellite  overpass, surface emissivity, difference of temperature
       from surface skin and about 2 m height (dT), instantaneous satellite  overpass  single-way
       atmospheric transmissivity (tsw), Day of Year (DOY), and sun zenith angle.

NOTES

       In  the old methods, dT was taken as flat images (dT=5.0), if you don’t have a dT map from
       ground data, you would  want  to  try  something  in  this  line,  this  is  to  calculate
       atmospherical  energy balance. In the same way, a standard tsw is used in those equations.
       Refer to r_net.c for that and for other  non-used  equations,  but  stored  in  there  for
       further research convenience.

TODO

       Add more explanations.
