IInterpolationMethod

The IInterpolationMethod interface defines a contract for models that perform sub-daily interpolation of environmental variables from daily values.

Overview

IInterpolationMethod is a core interface in APSIM NG that standardizes how models interpolate daily environmental data into sub-daily values. This is essential for simulating biological processes that respond to diurnal patterns of environmental conditions such as temperature, radiation, or humidity. By implementing this interface, models can provide consistent sub-daily estimates that can be used by various plant, soil, and atmospheric components within the simulation framework.

The interface is designed to be flexible, allowing different interpolation algorithms to be implemented while maintaining a consistent structure for accessing sub-daily values throughout the simulation.

Model Variables

This section lists the key variables that describe or control the behaviour of this component. Some variables can be adjusted by the user to modify how the model behaves (configurable), while others are calculated internally and can be viewed as model outputs (reportable). For a general explanation of variable types and how they are used within the APSIM Next Generation framework, see the Model Variables Overview.

Configurable and Reportable Properties

Property Type Description
OutputValueType string Specifies the type of variable being interpolated (e.g., “air temperature”, “solar radiation”). This property helps identify what environmental variable the interpolation method produces.
