Arguments

TC

core body temperature (°C)

TSKIN

skin temperature (°C)

GEVAP

respiratory water loss rate (just used for getting total water loss) (kg/s)

PSI_BODY

water potential of body (J/kg) - affects skin humidity for water vapour exchange

SKINW

fraction of total surface area acting as a free water surface (fractional, 0-1)

AEFF

effective area acting as a free-water exchanger, drives cutaneous evaporation (m2)

ATOT

total body surface area (m2)

HD

mass transfer coefficient calculated with CONV_ecto (m/s)

PEYES

proportion of total surface area that is 'wet' eye (fractional, 0-1)

LEAF

use vapour conductance for evaporation (leaf mode = 1, non-leaf mode = 0)

G_VS_AB

leaf vapour conductance, abaxial (bottom of leaf), mol/m2/s

G_VS_AD

leaf vapour conductance, adaxial (top of leaf), mol/m2/s

TA

air temperature (°C)

RELHUM

relative humidity (%)

VEL

wind speed (m/s)

BP

air pressure (Pa)
