 | `ssg_opt`       | integer for using either input data  (= `0`, default) or user set shrub/savanna/grass (SSG) vegetation type heights from namelist (= `1`).  Currently, GEDI FCH input data may not provide canopy heights for very low-lying vegetation such as SSG, and thus FCH=0.  This is important for options such as biogenic emissions, as this would then not have any emissions for these areas.  Warning: use of ssg_opt=1 will overide potential observations of FCH from GEDI for low-lying SSG (at higher spatial resolution) and cover larger areas of lower resolution vegtype data indicating SSG.  |
