Where: Section 2.2, Leaf area index, Equation 4, p. 221
Defines daily LAI updates for each vegetation type with a 0.03 LAI exponent and 5 x 10^-4 GDD or SDD factor for leaf-on and leaf-off, respectively.
Where: Section 3.1, Measurements, p. 224
States that SUEWS is tested against measured fluxes from Vancouver and Los Angeles and identifies those as the locations of the evaluation datasets.
| Name | supported Section 2.2 gives Equation 4 for each vegetation type; the record's deciduous-tree target and LaiEq = 0 label distinguish its use of that published LAI-growth form. |
|---|---|
| Target | supported The paper lists deciduous trees and shrubs among the modelled vegetation surfaces, so the land_cover.dectr target is applicable. |
| Values | supported Equation 4 gives the 0.03 LAI exponent and 5 x 10^-4 degree-day factor for both leaf-on and leaf-off updates, matching the four stored coefficients. |
| Source | supported Järvi et al. (2011) directly publishes Equation 4, the model method encoded by this record. |
| Place | supported Equation 4 is introduced as a dynamic LAI method for each vegetation type, while the later measurements section uses Vancouver and Los Angeles to test SUEWS. The equation is not a Vancouver-specific parameter set; generic is the supported place scope. |
| Representativeness | supported The publication presents the equation as a general model method and separately describes Vancouver as an evaluation location. Generic, rather than city, is therefore the supported representativeness. |
| Method | supported The coefficients are adopted directly from the published equation, so literature is the applicable record method. |
| Identity | supported The record keeps its stable Vancouver legacy path and origin, while its active scope now accurately describes the generic published LAI method. |
Järvi et al. (2011) directly publishes the LaiEq = 0 leaf-growth and leaf-off coefficients as the general dynamic LAI method in Equation 4. Vancouver is one of the locations where SUEWS is tested, not the stated origin of these four coefficients. The stable legacy path and origin remain Vancouver, but the active place and representativeness are generic and the record now declares method literature.
