soil_depth | 350 |
soil_store_capacity | 150 |
saturated_hydraulic_conductivity | 0.0005 Berthier 2006 |
Applies to: parameters.soil_depth, parameters.soil_store_capacity
Where: Section 3.2, Model setup, p. 6
States that, without detailed information, the same soil properties were assumed beneath each surface, with soil-layer depth 350 mm and maximum moisture capacity 150 mm, for the Swindon and London applications.
Applies to: parameters.saturated_hydraulic_conductivity
Where: Table 1, parameter values used in the model base runs, p. 640
Publishes UHE soil saturated hydraulic conductivity Ks as 5.0 x 10^-7 m s^-1; multiplying by 1000 converts it exactly to the stored 0.0005 mm s^-1.
Where: Section 3, Application of the models above the Rezé site, p. 638
Describes the model application to a 4.7 ha suburban catchment at Rezé, France.
Applies to: parameters.saturated_hydraulic_conductivity
Where: Table 2b, general model run options, p. 223
Carries saturated hydraulic conductivity 0.0005 mm s^-1 into the SUEWS parameter table and attributes the value by footnote to Berthier et al. (2006).
| Name | supported Ward et al. describe one soil-property set beneath every surface in their two UK applications, which supports the common-surface record name. |
|---|---|
| Target | supported Ward et al. explicitly apply the same depth and capacity to the soil stores beneath each surface, supporting the shared land_cover.common target. |
| Values | supported Ward et al. state soil depth 350 mm and maximum moisture capacity 150 mm. Berthier et al. publish saturated hydraulic conductivity 5.0 x 10^-7 m s^-1, exactly 0.0005 mm s^-1, and Järvi et al. carry the same value into the SUEWS parameter table. No value is changed. issue #139 |
| Source | supported Ward remains the source for depth and capacity. The field-level override now cites Berthier 2006, the original publication of the conductivity value, while Järvi 2011 is recorded only as the later SUEWS compilation that explicitly attributes it to Berthier. issue #139 |
| Place | supported Ward supports the SE England application envelope for depth and capacity. Berthier identifies the conductivity parameter with the 4.7 ha Rezé suburban site in France, supporting the field-level place override. |
| Representativeness | supported Ward uses the assumed depth and capacity at two UK sites, supporting the regional envelope. Berthier reports the conductivity in the base run for one Rezé site, so that leaf is scoped to site rather than SE England. |
| Method | supported Ward explicitly calls the shared depth and capacity assumptions. The conductivity is adopted unchanged from a published model-input table through the Järvi SUEWS compilation, supporting the literature method override for that leaf. |
| Identity | supported The stable path and legacy ID preserve the migrated shared-soil tuple; field-level provenance changes neither its values nor its record identity. |
The SUEWS record combines two explicit Ward et al. UK soil-store assumptions with a hydraulic-conductivity value transmitted through Järvi et al. (2011). Following that paper's own footnote to the original source shows that Berthier et al. (2006), not Järvi or Ward, directly publish the exact conductivity value. Parameter-level provenance now preserves that original citation and its Rezé site scope without altering the migrated tuple.
