If an implicit single big leaf is simulated the potential transpiration can be read from a PG file or be generated from parameters (see switch “PotTranspInput”). In the latter case the potential transpiration is a sine curve with a fixed maximum potential transpiration, jmax, on a specified day, jday, and a period of days that transpiration will take place, jperiod, i.e. half of these days will be before the maximum transpiration and the rest will be after this day. See viewing function Potential evaporation, implicit single leaf.
