GEN_M_q_fun: Gives values for GPAS BSWF (Micheletti's formulation) as a function of wavelength

Description

This function gives a set of numeric multipliers that can be used as a weight to calculate effective doses and irradiances. The BSWF is normalized at 300 nm.

Usage

GEN_M_q_fun(w.length)

Value

a numeric array of the same length as w.length with values for the BSWF normalized as in the original source. The returned values are based on quantum effectiveness units.

Arguments

w.length

numeric array of w.length (nm)
