Unclear meaning and treatment of variables

[andreas-enders]

SoilTemperatureMax/Min, SoilSurfaceTemperatureMax/Min
Temp_profile prev_temp_profile
Temp_profile prev_canopy_temp
CalculateSoilTemperature heatFlux

... are not clear - what does this exactly mean in the different models

[cyrillemidingoyi]

@andreas-enders are SoilTemperatureMax/Min, SoilSurfaceTemperatureMax/Min from BioMA components??

They are actually there in different models - just have a look at the xls-sheet attached.

For SiriusQuality :

• the variable maxTSoil is the maximum surface temperature, which is an output of the model that you don't need to initialize.
• the variable minTSoil is the minimum surface temperature, which is an output of the model that you don't need to initialize.
• the variable heatFlux can be found in the daily weather data, the code of this variable is G.
