intcp

This module will handle summer and winter interception when the algorithms are finalized. At present it is included to handle the change of names required across the canopy  because of canopy storage and evaporation. It is in effect a null module.

Observations

  • none

Variables

  • net_rain (mm/int) - the amount of rainfall received by the ground surface under the canopy in time step, int. It is equal to the amount of rain received at the top of the canopy less the amount intercepted by the vegetation.
  • cumnet_rain (mm) - cummulatve rainfall.
  • net_snow (mm/int) - the amount of snowfall received by the ground surface under the canopy in time step, int. It is equal to the amount of snowfall received at the top of the canopy less the amount intercepted by the vegetation.
  • net_p (mm/int) - the total amount of preciptitation (rain + snow) received by the ground surface under the canopy in time step, int. It is equal to the amount of precipitation the top of the canopy less the amount intercepted by the vegetation.

Parameters

  • basin_area (km^2) - basin area.
  • hru area (km^2) - HRU area.

Variable Inputs

  • hru_rain (mm/int) - HRU rain from module obs.
  • hru_snow (mm/int) - HRU snow from module obs.
  • hru_p (mm/int) - HRU precipitation from module obs.
