Canopy water storage capacity (sc) is a key parameter for estimations of rain-fall interception using a big-leaf model (blm). this study proposes a simple method for estimating sc.. Canopy water storage amounts were measured with a newly developed measuring system based on the attenuation of a 10.26 ghz microwave signal. every 5 min, vertical scans were made, over a period of 9 months.. Tation and canopy water storage is investigated by applying a new canopy interception scheme into the community atmosphere model version 3 (cam3) coupled with the community land model version 3.
According to the canopy theory, there was a canopy of water above the atmosphere until the cataclysm of noah�s day, at which point it disappeared either by collapsing upon the earth or dissipating into space.. Data on epiphyte biomass and canopy humus and estimates of the associated maximum water storage alone may not be enough for an improved understanding of canopy water fluxes in montane forests. also the dynamics of actual water storage are important.. The canopy water storage capacity - the amount of water which is retained in the canopy - is an important parameter of many interception models. furthermore, recent research indicates that even continental-scale hydrological models can be sensitive to this parameter..
