VSPEC.gcm.heat_transfer.energy_balance_error(tmap: astropy.units.Quantity, lons: ndarray, lats: ndarray, star_teff: astropy.units.Quantity, albedo: float, r_star: astropy.units.Quantity, r_orbit: astropy.units.Quantity) → float

Validate the energy balance.

Parameters:

• tmap (astropy.units.Quantity) – The temperature map.

• lons (np.ndarray) – The longitude points of the map.

• lats (np.ndarray) – The latitude points of the map.

• star_teff (astropy.units.Quantity) – The effective temperature of the star.

• albedo (float) – The Bond albedo of the planet.

• r_star (astropy.units.Quantity) – The radius of the star.

• r_orbit (astropy.units.Quantity) – The orbital radius of the planet.

Returns:

The fractional error of the energy balance.

Return type:

float
