SUEWS parameters

Methods to calculate SUEWS related parameters

Currently investigated:

• Parameters related to LAI for vegetated surfaces
• Parameters related to Albedo for vegetated surfaces
• Parameters related to Surface Conductance for vegetated surfaces (g1-g6)
• Parameters related to Surface Roughness and Zero Displacement height

dependencies

Please look at environment.yml

usage

1. set up the environment for running the notebooks:

conda create --file environments.yml

2. activate the env and install ipykernel

conda activate SUEWS_parameters
python -m ipykernel install --user --name SUEWS_parameters --display-name "SUEWS_prm"

3. launch jupyter notebooks

jupyter notebook

4. select kernel SUEWS_prm

folders

• data: contains data needed to run modules
• outputs: contains outputs of the scripts
