• Any location on and around the island within the green box will be represented by the single grid point near the centre.  Within the grid box the land fraction is about 90% and the water fraction about 10%.  Therefore HTESSEL will supply ~90% and FLake (rather than NEMO, because the land fraction >50%) supply ~10%.
• Locations on the island in the blue boxes will be represented by the corresponding grid points to the south or west.  Within these grid boxes the land fraction is about 10%, and the water fraction about 90%.  Therefore HTESSEL supply ~10% of the flux information and NEMO (rather than FLake, because the land fraction is <50% and the location is not a lake) will supply ~90%.
• Locations to the north of the island in the turquoise area will be represented by the grid points to the north and northeast.  Within these grid boxes the land fraction is about 60% land and the water fraction about 40%.   Therefore HTESSEL will supply ~60% of the flux information and FLake (rather than NEMO, because the land fraction >50%) will supply about 40%.

Fig2.1.3.1-2: ENS grid points around Lake Geneva.  Only one grid box has less than 50% land (blue) and any land locations within that box will be considered as if over water.  FLake is used here because the lake dataset tells the IFS that this is a lake and not open ocean (i.e. different to the Southern England case shown above).  The other turquoise shades show the proportion of land cover within the each box and define the proportional influence of the FLake and HTESSEL for any land point within the grid box.  For example, a point on the northeast coast of the lake will use ~60% HTESSEL and ~40% FLake for evaluation of fluxes.
