Abstract

The Rutter model of rainfall interception in forests has been used with data from an automatic weather station, to estimate interception loss from Thetford Forest, for twenty-one 4-week periods during 1975 and 1976. The estimates were compared with measurements of the interception loss, with good agreement between observed and predicted evaporation. The sensitivity of the model to the two major characteristics of the forest structure was also investigated.
