emis | 0.95 |
Where: Table 2(a), Water, emissivity row, p. 223
Publishes the exact water emissivity 0.95 and marks the cell with footnote f to Oke (1987).
Where: Table 1.1, Radiative properties of natural materials, water rows, p. 12
Gives water an emissivity range of 0.92 to 0.97 for both small and large zenith angles and collectively cites Sellers (1965), List (1966), Paterson (1969), and Monteith (1973); it does not identify a source per cell.
Where: Table 2, Water, emissivity row, p. 8
Repeats 0.95 and attributes the cell to Järvi et al. (2011), rather than originating the value.
| Name | supported Järvi et al. (2011) labels the corresponding model surface Water, matching the database label. |
|---|---|
| Target | supported Table 2 assigns the emissivity to the water surface column, matching the land_cover.water target. |
| Values | supported Järvi et al. (2011) publishes the exact emissivity 0.95. Oke (1987), which that cell cites, gives a water range of 0.92 to 0.97, so it supports the range but does not by itself identify the exact 0.95 selection. |
| Source | supported Järvi et al. (2011) is the earliest checked source that states the exact stored value. Oke (1987) is its stated upstream basis but publishes only a range; Ward et al. (2016) later repeats the exact value and points back to Järvi et al. (2011). |
| Place | supported Both sources present the value as a surface-type parameter or typical natural-material property, not as a measurement from SE England; generic is the supported active place scope. |
| Representativeness | supported The evidence is a general model parameter table backed by a typical-property range, not a regional survey. Generic is therefore the supported representativeness. |
| Method | supported The record adopts an exact value from the published model parameter table, so literature is the applicable method. |
| Identity | supported The stable SE England legacy path and origin preserve migration lineage, while active source and scope fields now describe the exact parameter publication and its generic applicability. |
Ward et al. (2016) is a later compilation for this value. Järvi et al. (2011) is the earliest checked publication that states the exact 0.95 model parameter. Its footnote leads to Oke (1987), whose original table supports a generic water interval of 0.92 to 0.97 but not the exact 0.95 selection. The record therefore cites Järvi et al. (2011) as parameter source and records Oke (1987) as the upstream compilation. Its value, stable path and historical origin remain unchanged; active place and representativeness are generic.
