SUEWS database pre-migration workbook: database.xlsxLater compilation

Applies to: parameters.state_limit

Where: Pre-migration water_state.yml row 42240044

Stores Evergreen Tree, SE England, StateLimit 1.3, WaterDepth -999 and legacy reference 90240002.

Establishes the exact migrated configuration identity and value only.

Applies to: parameters.state_limit

Where: SUEWS v2016a SUEWS_Veg.txt evergreen-tree rows

Codes 300, 551 and 661 retain StateLimit 1.3 for evergreen-tree configurations.

Confirms that 1.3 was an executable release configuration cell, not a published parameter.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
The pre-migration row labels legacy ID 42240044 as Evergreen Tree.
Targetsupported
Both artifacts place the cell under the evergreen-tree surface, matching land_cover.evetr.
Valuessupported
Both artifacts store StateLimit 1.3 exactly. This supports preservation of the configuration cell, not scientific validation of a non-water parameter.
Sourcesupported
Source unreferenced is correct. The artifacts establish configuration lineage; the linked adjudication found no Ward et al. (2016) publication or derivation of this non-water StateLimit.
issue #127
Placesupported
SE England is the explicit application origin stored in the pre-migration row.
Representativenesssupported
Regional preserves the configuration scope; it does not claim that 1.3 was regionally measured or validated.
Methodsupported
Assumed means that the exact legacy configuration cell is retained without a recoverable scientific derivation.
issue #127
Identitysupported
Stable path, legacy ID 42240044, surface name, origin, value and WaterDepth -999 placeholder are preserved.

Scientific note

This assessment establishes only that 1.3 is the exact archived SUEWS configuration for this stable record. It does not establish 1.3 as a measured, fitted or literature-supported non-water parameter. The honest classification is source unreferenced and method assumed; focused human review of assumed records remains appropriate.
