Simulated One Point Mode

Simulated One Point Mode

This mode is currently only supported for Mars.

It requires to provide: 1: a Temperature T 2: @ a season ls 3: @ a LTST hour

 OUT = krc(lat = 0., lon = 0., T = 170., ls = 152.4, hour = 3.12)

The output is the equivalent thermal inertia in J m-2 K-1 s-1/2, in this case OUT = XXX.

The One-Point Mode outputs a TI (SI) for an array of input temperatures with the given parameters\ It can output various values that indicate why a TI was not derived for failure cases: -600: The Temperature provided is lower than the lowest model output. Possible Frost Presence -500: No value was derived or returned. KRC may have failed to run all together -400: Negative TI value. This is a non-physical return as a function of the fitting routine -300: TI value larger than 2200 SI. 2200 SI is the top of the available lookup table and extrapolation is not permitted -200: Returned TI value doesn't meet proximity criterion (TI_Guess_PCT) -100: Bad TI_Guess / TI_Guess_PCT combination. This is most likely a user error
