Evaporation of the soil
This model computes the evaporation of the soil. It uses the
generic evaporation model together with an internal modulation
computing the conductance of evaporation.
Parameters:
ag: Ground area of Biosphere (default value = 2368.9 m2)
hai: Convection coefficient equation intercept (default value = 39.6 kJ/(h.m2.K))
apix: Portion of Biosphere covered by pond (default value = 0.4)
lambda: Latent heat of vaporization (default value = 2501 kJ/kg_water)
rg: Specific ground resistance of evaporation to vapor diffusion (default value = 0.0278 h.m2/kg_air)
pao: Atmospheric pressure (default value = 87.848 kPa)
