Hi there
In the UBCWM Allouette emulation there is a number of FOREST_#and OPEN_# land use parameters with different UBC_ICEPT_FACTOR values - What physical process do these values represent?
Thanks
Kim

Hi Kim

Apologies for the slow response. The UBC_ICEPT_FACTOR is the UBC model interception factor, indicating the percentage of precipitation that is intercepted. These different values are defined for different land use types (OPEN_X and FOREST_X).

Hope that helps!
