| 153 | The ORCHIDEE land surface energy balance scheme calculates the fluxes of latent and sensible heat that are passed between the soil/vegetation and the atmosphere. Latent heat comprises calculations for sublimination, canopy transpiration and the evaporation of soil and water in the foliage. |

| 155 | Each type of vegetation, or Plant Functional Type (PFT) is treated as a single-layer canopy model. Bare soil is a further PFT. Computations are performed separately for each type of vegetation and an average is taken to determine the overall flux for the grid square in question. |
