SUEWS v2017a input tables and generator workbookLater compilation

Where: SUEWS_NonVeg.txt, code 663 Bsoil (not used) London row

Stores AnOHM rho_cp 4000000, k 1.5 and Ch 5 on the Bsoil (not used) London row without an AnOHM parameter citation.

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

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

Publishes generic means of 2.0 MJ m-3 K-1, 1.2 W m-1 K-1 and 4, not the stored tuple.

Where: Table 3, UK-Ldn calibration, p. 2883

Publishes the bulk London calibration 2.4 MJ m-3 K-1, 2.8 W m-1 K-1 and 4.3, not a separate bare-soil tuple of 4.0/1.5/5.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
The not-used qualifier makes the source row's explicit Bsoil (not used) status visible without changing the stable record path or its bare-soil surface identity.
Targetsupported
The exact tuple is stored on the SUEWS bare-soil surface row and belongs to land_cover.bsoil.
Valuessupported
The v2017a text table stores 4000000, 1.5 and 5 exactly. Sun et al. publish different generic and bulk London values, so the tuple is supported only as the preserved unused/sample configuration assumption confirmed by author adjudication.
issue #115
Sourcesupported
Unreferenced is correct. Author adjudication confirms that Ward et al. supplied no input data or parameter provenance; the release row is compilation lineage and Sun et al. validate AnOHM without publishing the exact values.
issue #115
Placesupported
Generic is the active evidence place because no publication determines this tuple at a study location. Author adjudication confirms that London is only the application label retained in the stable path and origin.
issue #115
Representativenesssupported
Generic records the deliberately assumed land-cover default; city would falsely present the tuple as a London observational or fitted result.
Applicable Scalesupported
Author adjudication confirms that the tuple applies to the bare-soil land-cover class rather than a whole-neighbourhood bulk calibration.
Methodsupported
Author adjudication confirms that the unused/sample tuple was deliberately assumed, not derived or calibrated.
issue #115
Identitysupported
The stable path, London origin, legacy ID, target and values preserve code 663 while the display name now exposes the source row's not-used sample status.
issue #115

Scientific note

The exact 4000000/1.5/5 tuple appears in the v2017a text table as a London Bsoil (not used) configuration. Author adjudication in issue 115 confirms that it is a deliberately assumed generic bare-soil land-cover sample, London is only its application label, and Ward et al. have no parameter-provenance role. The v2017a row is compilation evidence and Sun et al. provide validation.
