two_irrads

Internal function that computes the two irradiances needed to compute
various waveband ratios and fractions.

Definitions of classes, methods, operators and functions for use
in photobiology and radiation meteorology and climatology. Calculation of
effective (weighted) and not-weighted irradiances/doses, fluence rates,
transmittance, reflectance, absorptance, absorbance and diverse ratios and
other derived quantities from spectral data. Local maxima and minima: peaks,
valleys and spikes. Conversion between energy-and photon-based units.
Wavelength interpolation. Astronomical calculations related solar angles and
day length. Colours and vision. This package is part of the 'r4photobiology'
