To use this mode one can call KRC while including the proper spatial and temporal information in addition to a prescribed surface temperature.

For example, if we measured a surface temperature of 190 K at 25&deg;N, 0&deg;W, at Ls = 90&deg; and a local true solar time of 3, we can derive the thermal inertia with:

 dv> krc(T = 190., lat = 25., lon = 0., ls = 90., hour = 3.)

Which corresponds to a derived thermal inertia of
 
 284.856

In the above example surface albedo, atmospheric opacity, and elevation was not prescribed. 
Those values are gathered from lookup tables within KRC, and for this case are equal to:

 ELEVATION: -1.942km^
 ALBEDO: 0.254^
 OPACITY: 0.300

The user can also provide a guess of the thermal inertia, which can speedup the computation, e.g.,:

 dv> krc(T = 190., lat = 25., lon = 0., ls = 90., hour = 3., TI_Guess = 200)

Resulting in a derived thermal inertia of

 284.941
