The Analytical Objective Hysteresis Model (AnOHM v1.0): methodology to determine bulk storage heat flux coefficientsParameter source

Where: Table 1(a), input-parameter sensitivity distributions, p. 2880

Publishes means of 2.0 MJ m-3 K-1 for volumetric heat capacity, 1.2 W m-1 K-1 for thermal conductivity and 4 for the bulk transfer coefficient.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
Building is consistent with the land_cover.bldgs target and the generic building application of the published sensitivity means.
Targetsupported
AnOHM material properties are land_cover.bldgs properties.
Valuessupported
Table 1(a) gives distribution means of 2.0 MJ m-3 K-1, 1.2 W m-1 K-1 and 4, exactly matching rho_cp_anohm 2000000, k_anohm 1.2 and ch_anohm 4 after unit conversion.
Sourcesupported
Sun et al. (2017) introduce AnOHM and publish the exact sensitivity-distribution means.
Placesupported
The table defines generic sensitivity distributions rather than a Helsinki observation, so place generic is appropriate.
Representativenesssupported
Generic scope reflects parameter-distribution means that are not tied to a city or site.
Methodsupported
The record transcribes literature values published in Table 1(a).
Identitysupported
The stable record preserves the migrated building AnOHM tuple while correcting its evidence identity to the generic published means.

Scientific note

Sun et al. (2017) publish these three values as generic sensitivity-distribution means, based on Stull (1988), rather than as a Helsinki building fit. The stable path and migration origin remain unchanged, while place and representativeness are corrected to generic so the record does not imply local evidence.
