Canopy interception and evaporation (vs throughfall)

Algorithm description	WRSM-Pitman	SPATSIM-Pitman	ACRU4	SWAT2012	MIKE-SHE, semi-distributed & fully distributed
Algorithm inputs (input data, parameters, model-calculated states/storages)	Rain Cover properties: max interception	Rain Cover properties: max interception	Rain PET Cover properties: max interception (OR LAI) Canopy storage (state)	Canopy interception is not explicitly modelled when using daily timestep modelling. It is implicitly considered in the ‘initial abstraction’, see infiltration & surface runoff below	Rain PET Cover properties: LAI canopy interception coefficient Canopy storage (state)
Function type	exponential & threshold	exponential & threshold	threshold		threshold
Thresholds	yes: timestep interception capacity (calculated)	yes: timestep interception capacity (calculated)	yes: timestep interception capacity (calculated)		yes: timestep interception capacity (calculated)
