Thermal Response Model: MBALL,

Abstract

MBALL is subroutine of EXOHEAT for surface temperature calculations for convex objects of light to intermediate thermal mass (in-depth heat conduction is not important). It includes surface conduction and internal radiative coupling between stations, using the natural fluxes (Sun, albedo, earthshine) calculated in EXOHEAT. MBALL must be used with the OSC VI BASIC option. (Author)
