| MIN_WIND_SPEED | float | m/s | Minimum allowable wind speed. <br><br>Default = 0.1 m/s. |

When no snow in canopy, use surface aero_resist instead of overstory aero_resist. (As in VIC 4.0.6). <li>**AR_406_LS** = Multiply by 10 for both latent and sensible heat. When no snow in canopy, use surface aero_resist instead of overstory aero_resist. <li>**AR_406_FULL** = Multiply by 10 for both latent and sensible heat.

## Meteorological Forcing Disaggregation Parameters

Generally these default values do not need to be overridden.

| Name | Type | Units | Description |
|-----------------|--------|---------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| PLAPSE | string | TRUE or FALSE | Options for computing grid cell average surface atmospheric pressure (and density) when it is not explicitly supplied as a meteorological forcing: <li>**FALSE** = Set surface atmospheric pressure to constant 95.5 kPa (as in earlier releases). <li>**TRUE** = Lapse surface atmospheric pressure (and density) from sea level to the grid cell average elevation. <br><br>*NOTE 1*: air pressure is already lapsed to grid cell or band elevation when computing latent heat; this option only affects computation of sensible heat. <br><br>*NOTE 2*: this option exists for backwards compatibility with earlier releases and likely will be removed in later releases (the TRUE option will become the standard behavior). <br><br>Default = TRUE. |
| SW_PREC_THRESH | float | mm | Minimum daily precipitation, above which incoming shortwave is dimmed by 25%, when shortwave is not supplied as a forcing but instead is estimated from daily temperature range. <br><br>*Note*: This option's purpose is to avoid erroneous dimming of estimated shortwave when using forcings that have been aggregated or re-sampled from a different resolution. Re-sampling can sometimes smear small amounts of precipitation from neighboring cells into cells that originally had no precipitation. The appropriate value of SW_PREC_THRESH must be found through examination of the forcings. <br><br>Default = 0 mm (any precipitation causes dimming) |
| MTCLIM_SWE_CORR | string | TRUE or FALSE | This controls VIC's estimates of incoming shortwave (when shortwave is not supplied as a forcing) in the presence of snow. When shortwave is supplied as a forcing, this option is ignored. <li>**TRUE** = Adjust incoming shortwave for snow albedo effect. <li>**FALSE** = Do not adjust shortwave (as in earlier releases). <br><br>Default = TRUE. |
| VP_ITER | string | N/A | This controls VIC's iteration between estimates of shortwave and vapor pressure: <li>**VP_ITER_NEVER** = Never iterate; make estimates separately. <li>**VP_ITER_ALWAYS** = Always iterate once (as in previous releases). <li>**VP_ITER_ANNUAL** = Iterate once for arid climates (based on annual Precip/PET ratio) and never for humid climates. <li>**VP_ITER_CONVERGE** = Always iterate until shortwave and vp stabilize. <br><br>Default = VP_ITER_ALWAYS. |
| VP_INTERP | string | TRUE or FALSE | This controls sub-daily humidity estimates: <li>**TRUE** = Interpolate daily VP estimates linearly between sunrise of one day to the next. <li>**FALSE** = Hold VP constant for entire day (as in previous releases). <br><br>Default = TRUE. |
| LW_TYPE | string | N/A | This controls the algorithm used to estimate clear-sky longwave radiation: <li>**LW_TVA** = Tennessee Valley Authority algorithm (1972) (this option is what previous releases used) <li>**LW_ANDERSON** = Algorithm of Anderson (1964) <li>**LW_BRUTSAERT** = Algorithm of Brutsaert (1975) <li>**LW_SATTERLUND** = Algorithm of Satterlund (1979) <li>**LW_IDSO** = Algorithm of Idso (1981) <li>**LW_PRATA** = Algorithm of Prata (1996) <br><br>Default = LW_TVA. |
| LW_CLOUD | string | N/A | This controls the algorithm used to estimate the influence of clouds on total longwave: <li>**LW_CLOUD_BRAS** = Method from Bras textbook (this option is what previous releases used) <li>**LW_CLOUD_DEARDORFF** = Algorithm of Deardorff (1978) <br><br>Default = LW_CLOUD_DEARDORFF. |
