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)
