PPFD & DLI by date, time, latitude, and longitude

The ui.R and server.R files make this PPFD by time Shiny app that calculates the expected PPFD (photosynthetic photon flux density in units of µmol m-2 s-1) at a user selected time of day, day of the year, and latitude and longitude. The expected DLI (daily light integral, in units of mol m-2 d-1) for that location on that day is also calculated.

More information about these calculations is given in the FAO Crop evapotranspiration book.
