emis | 0.98 |
Where: Table 1.1, Radiative properties of natural materials, p. 12
The leafed row under deciduous forests gives albedo 0.20 and emissivity 0.98. The table itself cites Sellers (1965), List (1966), Paterson (1969), and Monteith (1973) collectively.
Where: Table 2(a), model parameter values by surface type, p. 223
The Decid. trees emissivity cell is 0.98 with footnote f; footnote f cites Oke (1987).
Where: Table 2, original and adjusted albedo values and emissivity values, p. 8
The DecTr row prints emissivity 0.98, and the table note says Ja11 emissivity values were used for the UK sites where no additional information was available.
| Name | supported Oke Table 1.1 includes a deciduous, leafed forest surface, matching the record's deciduous-tree identity. |
|---|---|
| Target | supported The value is a surface emissivity for leafed deciduous forest and applies to land_cover.dectr. |
| Values | supported Table 1.1 gives emissivity 0.98 for leafed deciduous forest, exactly the stored value. |
| Source | supported Ward 2016 compiles the 0.98 from Järvi 2011; Järvi Table 2 footnote f points to Oke 1987. Oke is the earliest directly checked publication that prints the exact leafed-deciduous 0.98 value. |
| Place | supported Oke Table 1.1 is a table of natural-material radiative properties, not a Swindon measurement; generic is the supported place scope. |
| Representativeness | supported The table gives a general leafed-deciduous forest value, supporting generic rather than city representativeness. |
| Method | supported The record adopts the tabled literature value without a new fit, so literature is the applicable method. |
| Identity | supported The stable legacy path, ID and historical Swindon origin remain intact while the active source and scope now identify the published generic surface value. |
Ward et al. (2016) is a later UK application table, and Järvi et al. (2011) is itself a compilation for this value: its Table 2 footnote f cites Oke (1987). Oke Table 1.1 directly gives 0.98 for leafed deciduous forest, making Oke the earliest checked publication that states the exact value. Oke records Sellers (1965), List (1966), Paterson (1969), and Monteith (1973) as collective table sources, without assigning the leafed-deciduous cell to one of them; that unresolved primary-data chain is documented, not invented. The record therefore cites the directly readable Oke table as literature evidence and has generic active scope; its stable path, historical Swindon origin, legacy ID and value remain unchanged.
