 * If Property “sensible heat” in InterfaceWaterAir is to be computed it is needed air temperature and wind velocity for the formulation . Thus, '''Property “air temperature”''' and '''Property “wind velocity X”''' and '''Property “wind velocity Y”''' must be defined in Atmosphere data file. These properties can be a constant value or entered as timeserie; wind velocity X and wind velocity Y can in addition be computed from Property “wind modulus” and Property “wind angle”, as stated previously (see 2.1.3). These last properties can be a constant value or entered as timeserie.
 * If Property “latent heat” in InterfaceWaterAir is to be computed properties needed are the same as in Property “sensible heat” plus humidity. Thus, '''also Property “humidity”''' has to be added in Atmosphere data file. This property can be a constant value or entered as timeserie.
-* If Property “downward long wave radiation” in  InterfaceWaterAir is to be computed, then '''Property “air temperature”''' and '''Property “cloud cover”''' need to be defined in Atmosphere data file. These properties can be a constant value or entered as timeserie; cloud cover can in addition be computed by the model. If cloud cover is computed, '''Keyword CLOUD_COVER_METHOD''' (global variable) must define if it is computed from sun hours (value 1), from radiation (value 3) or from random values (value 2 - by default - THIS OPTION WILL BE REMOVED).
