    6666|| {{{lai_beta}}}                   || float   || 3.0 || Parameter for reconstruction of vertical LAD profiles based on tree shape parameters (alpha, beta) and the integral leaf area index after Markkanen et al. (2003). This scheme is used for vegetation patches (parks, forests), where the canopy can be considered to be pseudo-1D and for which usually no information on individual trees is available.  ||
    6767|| {{{patch_height_default}}}       || float   || 10.0 || Default patch height (in m), which is used in the canopy generator to process canopy patches (parks, forests) for which data for individual trees is usually lacking. This parameter comes into affect for data gaps where no other vegetation height is available ||
    68 || {{{season}}}                     || string  || "summer" || As palm_csd can work with different sets of input data regarding leaf area index, this switch parameter can be set to either {{{summer}}} or {{{winter}}} to select the most suitable leaf area index input file to account for differences in leaf amount. Data for summer is usually from August (fully leaved), while data for winter is usually from April. ||

    170 || {{{dz}}}                         || float   ||  ||Vertical grid spacing in PALM (m). This parameter is needed when {{{buildings_3d}, {{{street_trees}}}, {{{canopy_patches}}}, {{{interpolate_terrain}}}, or {{{use_palm_z_axis}}} is used ||
     170|| {{{pixel_size}}}*                || float   ||  ||Grid spacing in x and y / pixel size (m) ||

    171176|| {{{buildings_3d}}}               || logical || False ||Use 3D buildings via the {{{buildings_3d}}} array to buildings instead of {{{buildings_2d}}}. This parameter must be true if bridges are present in the simulation domain. Note that the processing of 3D buildings by palm_csd is slower than 2D buildings ||
    172177|| {{{allow_high_vegetation}}}      || logical || False ||If set to {{{True}}}, it is allowed to have high vegetation classes according in the {{{vegetation_type}}} distribution. Note that this can involve very large roughness lengths > 0.5 m. If the vertical grid spacings is close or smaller than this threshold the PALM run will crash and/or does not provide meaningful results. It is generally recommended to set this parameter to {{{False}}} whenever the grid spacing in small enough to resolve canopy patches be 2 or more vertical grid levels. If set to {{{False}}} pixels where a high vegetation type was prescribed will be converted into a 3D leaf area density canopy using the canopy generator ||
     
    179184|| {{{overhanging_trees}}}          || logical || True ||If set to False, no LAD volumes of trees are generated above surfaces without a vegetation type. ||
    180185|| {{{remove_low_lai_tree}}}        || logical || False ||If set to True, all trees with an LAI<{{{lai_tree_lower_threshold}}} are removed from the dataset. If set to False, those trees are considered with LAI=lai_tree_lower_threshold. ||
