Abstract
The paper presents a new dynamic model for the interception of rainfall in a beech forest (WiMo) which considers the influence of wind upon canopy storage capacity. The canopy interception capacity was calculated by an optimization technique from a 17-month data set from a 97-year-old beech forest ( Asperulo-Fagetum) in Northern Germany. A comparison was made with different types of Gash's analytical model of interception. The advantages and differences of the three approaches are discussed.
