SCOPED EVIDENCE NOTE

What this source contributes.

Santa Rosa observations show poor collection at the tested locations. High-site observed bound is <0.2 L/m²/day in section 3.2 but <0.1 in 4.2.2; Low is reported null. Section 4.2.1 reports a June peak monthly total of 2.5 L/m². Limit: The paired local modeled bound also differs: <1 L/m²/day in 3.2 versus <0.2 in 4.2.2. Definitions/averaging need the underlying series; no bound is selected for numerical decisions and no annual measured yield is reconstructed. The regional daily yield used in the planning example is modeled, not measured urban production. Illustrative modeled annual-average daily rate. Limit: Transfer from a site 65 km away remains uncertain; installation and storage forecasts need site data.

This is a bounded reading note. It is not independent replication, a full systematic review or an endorsement of every conclusion in the paper.

Questions to take to the paper

  • Which wet sizes contribute most to attenuation?
  • Does a change persist after temperature, humidity and inlet conditions are accounted for?
  • Is the measurement representative of the volume people need to see through?
Keep the evidence attached to its setting.
A simulation, chamber result, field observation and operational outcome answer different questions. Record the comparator, measured quantity and conditions before carrying a result into a design.
