Template:Canopy Coefficient

Canopy Coefficient

This tool computes a canopy coefficient from a landuse raster. The tool has the following options:

• Input landuse raster – Select which landuse raster in the project will be the input.
• Interpolation option – Select which of the following options will be used for interpolating the canopy coefficient.
  • "Node location" – Interpolation based around where the nodes are located.
  • "Area around node" – Interpolation based around the area around the nodes. This adds an option to the dialog.
    • Minimum percent blocked which ignores wind stress – Sets the minimum potential percent of the canopy that will be blocked and ignore the wind stress.
• Target grid – Select which grid will be the target.
• Landuse raster type – Select what type the landuse raster is.
  • "NLCD" – Sets the landuse raster type to National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD).
  • "C-CAP" – Sets the landuse raster type to Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP).
  • "Other" – Sets the landuse raster type to be set by the user. This adds an option to the dialog.
    • Landuse to canopy coefficient mapping table – The Select File... button will allow a table file to be selected. The entire file name will be displayed in the text box to its right.
• Output canopy coefficient dataset – Enter the name for the new canopy coefficient dataset.
