-As no buildings are present in the nesting area, the sun radiation can reach the surface without reduction. This might result in an unrealistic overestimation of the surface temperature in the nesting area, especially when only sealed surfaces are used as soil profiles. To overcome this problem, ENVI-met can use radiative values averaged over the main model area instead of the normal radiative fluxes in the nesting area. To enable this function, use the [[[NESTINGAREA]]] section in the Configuration File.+As no buildings are present in the nesting area, the sun radiation can reach the surface without reduction.
