Provenance evidence

Awaiting sign-off

Assumed · assessed by provenance-audit · 2026-08-26. Agent assessment is evidence preparation, not human verification.

SUEWS database pre-migration workbook: database.xlsxLater compilation

Applies to: parameters.thermal_layers

Where: Pre-migration ESTM row 52240016

Stores the exact four-layer deciduous-tree configuration and the mechanically generated legacy reference later removed by PR

Establishes migrated configuration identity and values only.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
The pinned migration row identifies the retained Deciduous Tree configuration.
Targetsupported
The row is labelled Deciduous Tree and stores surface thermal-layer fields, matching land_cover.dectr.
Valuessupported
The pinned row stores the complete migrated four-layer tuple exactly. This supports configuration preservation, not scientific validation of the thermal properties.
Sourcesupported
Source unreferenced is correct. PR #478 established that the former Campbell and Norman reference was a mechanically generated workbook link, while the exact tuple is compilation evidence.
issue #399
Placenot applicable
The generic migration row has no origin and makes no observation-place claim.
Representativenessnot applicable
The generic archived configuration makes no evidence-reach claim for a named site or city.
Methodsupported
Assumed identifies a retained configuration whose assembly procedure and original parameter sources have not been recovered.
issue #399
Identitysupported
Stable path, legacy ID 52240016, name and complete tuple preserve the migrated tree row.

Scientific note

The evidence establishes an exact archived deciduous-tree configuration, not a measured or literature-published thermal parameter set. The values therefore remain unchanged with source unreferenced and method assumed. This sidecar remains agent assessed and should enter the focused human review of assumed records.
