The boundary-layer resistance, rd, for water vapour transfer from single drops on a wheat leaf was derived from field measurements of the evaporation rate, drop temperature and air humidity. Parameters are estimated in an equation to calculate rd from drop diameter and wind speed. The relationship b

β¦ Synopsis
In crop canopies, the persistence of discrete water drops on leaves after rain is of particular importance to the epidemiology of certain folk pathogens. A model is described which simulates the heat and water vapour fluxes in a plant canopy and includes evaporation from water drops on the leaves. Energy balance equations allow for heat conducted to drops from the adjacent leaf tissue. Preliminary field tests of model performance for winter wheat, which compare predicted and visually assessed leaf wetness, are encouraging.

## Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the temporal resolution of hydrological data on an interception simulation. Hydrological data with different temporal resolutions generated from a 28βyear hourly hydrological data set was applied to a simple interception model
