“…With the initial estimates of these variables, first estimates of the conductances, T 0 , F E , H, and E are obtained. The process is then iterated by updating e 0 *, e 0 , I SM , and α (using Equations A9, A10, A11, A17, A16, and A15 in Mallick et al., 2016), with the first estimates of g cs , g a , T 0 , and E . This is followed by recalculation of G , g cs , g a , T 0 , F E , H , and E in the subsequent iterations with the previous estimates of e 0 *, e 0 , I SM , and α until the convergence of E is achieved.…”
