Hi,
I am reading the chapter of Vegetation Phenology and Turnover in the CLM Technical Note. 2.20. Vegetation Phenology and Turnover — ctsm CTSM master documentation
Everything is clear until I read the description of the transfer rate in equation 2.20.13
"tonset (s) is the number of seconds remaining in the current phenology onset growth period. The form of Eq. (2.20.13) produces a flux from the transfer pool which declines linearly over the onset growth period, approaching zero flux in the final timestep."
tonset is linearly decreased which should result the transfer rate reversely increases. Why the transfer rate will be 0 when tonset is 0 ?
Any clarification or explanation provided will be appreciated.
Thanks.
