| 175 | 175 | For a proper classification of natural land and water surfaces, [#pavement_type pavement_type], [#soil_type soil_type], [#vegetation_type vegetation_type] and [#water_type water_type] are required, which define bulk parameters for albedo, soil, root distribution, leaf-area density, etc. To enable initialization of the land-surface model with input-file-provided variables, the namelist parameter [../../lsmpar#surface_type surface_type] needs to be set to 'netcdf'. |
| 176 | 176 | In case more than one of the surface types (vegetation, pavement, water) is given at an (x,y) location, the relative fraction of each of the types must be provided by [#surface_fraction surface_fraction]. |
| 177 | | Further, if the [../../usmpar urban-surface model] is applied, also [#building_type building_type] is required, which defines bulk parameters to run the urban-surface model. Please note, for the sake of consistency, at least one of the variables [#pavement_type pavement_type], [#vegetation_type vegetation_type], [#water_type water_type] or [#building_type building_type] needs to be defined at each (x,y) location if the land- and urban-surface model is applied. Further, in case data is taken from the static input file, both, the land- and urban-surface model need to be either switched on or off. Applying only one of the energy-balance models is not sufficient and will lead to a controlled termination. \\ |
