Inner matrix dimensions must agree

Dear All Can anyone help me about this equation Qb=Qba*(1-(0.3251).^2)+4*(0.985)*(5.67*10.^-8)*(TS).^3*(TT); When i run it , I get this error Error using * Inner matrix dimensions must agree. where Qba [37*37 double] TS[37*1 double] TT [37*31 double] Thank All

Answer 1

As you see, you want to multiply a [71x1] vector with a [37x31] matrix. This is mathematically not defined. What do you expect as output?

[b.m.n n]

Thank you for help ... but I did some change in TT [37*1] and TS [73*1] to get the same size .. still show the same error in left term

[Jan]

Of course it shows the same error for a [37x1] and [73x1] matrix. A valid Matrix multiplication would be: [1x37] and [37x1]. Please ask e.g. WikiPedia for the term "matrix multiplication".

Thank you so much Jan Simon

4*(0.985)*(5.67*10.^-8)*(TS).^3*(TT)

Here according to the operator precedence this happens:

 (some_constant * (TS.^3)) * TT

which would require a matrix of 37x1 to be multiplied by a matrix of size 37x31, which is giving you the error.

It is possible the calculation is not formulated correctly in the first place.

Thank you for help ... but I did some change in TT [37*1] and TS [73*1] to get the seam siez .. still show the same error in left term

What are the current sizes?

%long Wave Radition.(W/m2)(Qb)
%Qb=Qbo(1-cn^2)*4*epsilon*sigma*Ts.^3(TS-TA)

%==>Qba=(epsilon*sigma*(To^4))*(0.39-0.05*(Sqrt(P)));

% epsilon=0.985;
% sigma=(5.67*10^-8 );%Wm^(-2) K^(-4) the Stefan–Boltzmann constant
% The Constants a and b(0.39-0.05)
%Ts=sea surface temperature[K]

%Vapor Pressure of Water calculator Formula
%P=10^(A_B/(C+T))
%Where:
%P: Vapor Pressure of Water
%T: Water Temperature, in Celsius
%A,B,C: Antoine Constants for Water.
%When water temperature in the range of 1 - 100 Celsius
A=8.07131;
B=1730.63;
C= 233.426;
ea=10.^(A-B/(C+Ts)); %[1x37]

%==>Qba=(epsilon*sigma*(To^4))*(0.39-0.05*(Sqrt(ea)));
Qba=(0.985*5.67*10.^-8*(TS.^4))*(0.39-0.05*(sqrt(ea)));%[37x37]
Qb=Qba*(1-(0.3251).^2)+4*(0.985)*(5.67*10.^-8)*(TS.^3)*(TA-TS);

   % to get seam size (TA)
  Taa=ones(37,1)*nan;%a new matrix

s=37;%number of  ROW
for i=1:s

       TA(i,:)=Taa(i,:)+1;
  end

[Alexandra Harkai]

In this case,

TA-TS

would not even work because TA and TS have different sizes and none of them is a scalar.

What is the computation you want to implement there?

[b.m.n n]

Thank you so much..Alexandra ..I want to get same size for TA and TS .But i don't now how .

[Alexandra Harkai]

It is not exactly clear what you are tying to achieve. Depending on what the vectors represent, the operation may not even make sense. Are you sure this is the computation you need?
