Table 4.3 Overview of input to the dry deposition model and the sources of information used for parameterisation.
Tabel 4.3 Oversigt over input til tørdepositionsmodellen, og kilderne til den anvendte parameterisering.

Value Name parameter Meaning, units and what parameter is used for  
bentazon Namecomp Name compound (40 characters)  
5 Dose Dose active ingredient (kg a.i. ha-1) The information is transferred from the user interface, but modified according to the Ka value of the compound so only neutral compound is allowed to evaporate.
1 Indicvol Indicator volatilisation
1= from crops, 2 = from soil
If the crop cover is less than 10%, it is assumed that emmission occurs from the soil.
1 Indicdep Indicator deposition
1=stream, 2=lake
The value of this parameter is set as a function of the scenario chosen.
2.e-4 Henrygref Henry's law coefficient (cg/cw) at reference temperature (dimensionless)
[volatilisation from soil, surface resistance water]
The information is transferred from the user interface

[volatilisation from soil]
Calculated as a weighted average of the bulk densities of the topsoils in the catchment.
4.7 Orgmatproc Content of organic matter of the soil material (%)
[volatilisation from the soil]
Calculated as a weighted average of the organic matter content of the topsoils in the catchment.

[volatilisation from soil]
Calculated as a weighted average of the values of the moisture content in the catchment at pF2.
2.4e-3 Kd Soil-liquid partitioning coefficient
(kg kg-1 solid)/(kg m-3 liquid)
[volatilisation from soil]
The information is transferred from the user interface as an average value for the topsoils in the catchment.
