Canopy

 CanopyModel{FT, AR, RM, PM, SM, PHM, EM, SM, A, R, S, PS, D} <: ClimaLand.AbstractImExModel{FT}

The model struct for the canopy, which contains

• the canopy model domain (a point for site-level simulations, or

an extended surface (plane/spherical surface) for regional or global simulations.

• subcomponent model type for radiative transfer. This is of type

AbstractRadiationModel.

• subcomponent model type for photosynthesis. This is of type

AbstractPhotosynthesisModel, and currently only the FarquharModel is supported.

• subcomponent model type for stomatal conductance. This is of type

AbstractStomatalConductanceModel and currently only the MedlynModel is supported

• subcomponent model type for plant hydraulics. This is of type

AbstractPlantHydraulicsModel and currently only a version which prognostically solves Richards equation in the plant is available.

• subcomponent model type for canopy energy. This is of type

AbstractCanopyEnergyModel and currently we support a version where the canopy temperature is prescribed, and one where it is solved for prognostically.

• subcomponent model type for canopy SIF. prognostically.
• canopy model parameters, which include parameters that are shared

between canopy model components or those needed to compute boundary fluxes.

• The boundary conditions, which contain:
  • The atmospheric conditions, which are either prescribed (of type PrescribedAtmosphere) or computed via a coupled simulation (of type CoupledAtmosphere).
  • The radiative flux conditions, which are either prescribed (of type PrescribedRadiativeFluxes) or computed via a coupled simulation (of type CoupledRadiativeFluxes).
  • The ground conditions, which are either prescribed or prognostic

Note that the canopy height is specified as part of the PlantHydraulicsModel, along with the area indices of the leaves, roots, and stems. Eventually, when plant biomass becomes a prognostic variable (by integrating with a carbon model), some parameters specified here will be treated differently.

SharedCanopyParameters{FT <: AbstractFloat, PSE}

A place to store shared parameters that are required by multiple canopy components.

• z_0m: Roughness length for momentum (m)

• z_0b: Roughness length for scalars (m)

• earth_param_set: Earth param set

AbstractCanopyComponent{FT <: AbstractFloat}

An abstract type for canopy component parameterizations.

Canopy component parameterizations do not run in standalone mode, but only as part of a CanopyModel. As such, they do not require all of the functionality of AbstractModels, and they are not AbstractModels themselves. The CanopyModel is an AbstractModel.

However, some of the same functionality is nice to have for canopy components, especially when defining the variables, which is why we introduce the AbstractCanopyComponent type and extend many of the methods for ClimaLand.AbstractModels for the canopy component parameterizations.

AbstractCanopyBC <: ClimaLand.AbstractBC

An abstract type for boundary conditions for the canopy model.

AtmosDrivenCanopyBC{
    A <: AbstractAtmosphericDrivers,
    B <: AbstractRadiativeDrivers,
    G <: AbstractGroundConditions,
    C::Tuple
} <: AbstractCanopyBC

A struct used to specify the canopy fluxes, referred to as ``boundary conditions", at the surface and bottom of the canopy, for water and energy.

These fluxes include turbulent surface fluxes computed with Monin-Obukhov theory, radiative fluxes, and root extraction.

• atmos: The atmospheric conditions driving the model

• radiation: The radiative fluxes driving the model

• ground: Ground conditions

• prognostic_land_components: Prognostic land components present
