Notes

DiscussionMatt
  • The garden vegetation groupings will be (TREE + BARE + GRAS). TREE will be in {TEBDU, TRDBU, TEBEU, TRBEU, BONEU, TENEU, BONDU}, where {TREE}U is the urban counterpart for a given tree type.
    • Implementation:
    • Is BARE = NONE or BARE = (NONE+ROCK+SNOW)? Currently I have assumed it is only NONE.
  • Described new implementations of list of tile attributes, support roof/road/wall temperatures, accumulated parameters, and "Aggregated" covers.
DiscussionSøren
  • Documented variable list from SURFEX - starting to take shape here.
  • What do ..._T_... variables mean?
    • These are variables integrated over all soil layers.
  • What do ..._WAT_... variables mean?
    • These variables are on (LAKE + RIVE) grouping. In fact even lake variables are on this grouping.
  • How will we deal with snow fraction for a patch/grouping that is on the ground, as well as snow fraction that is on vegetation?
    • This will require some additional thought. Either we add an additional fixedSurface "vegetation", or we add "with intercepted snow" as an attribute, but we need to think about this.

We will communicate more in between, but next official meeting sometime w/c 13th March. I will send out a Doodle. I will have a hands on session with Søren in the meantime (Friday).
