Interception calculated for Nura-Sarysu Water Economic basin with complete drainage area of Nura and Sarysu rivers and Lake Tengiz with buffer. The Interception (I) data component (monthly, in mm/day) represents the evaporation of intercepted rainfall from the vegetation canopy. Interception is the process where rainfall is captured by the leaves. Part of this captured rainfall will evaporate again. The value of each pixel represents the average monthly evaporated interception for that specific month.

Data lineage:
The following data is used for calculating interception: - Monthly precipitation (P, GPM), number of rainy days (nrd, based on GPM), Leaf Area Index (LAI, MODIS). Equation: I=(1-1/(1+P/(nrd_t)⋅(1-exp(-0.5⋅LAI_t ))⋅1/(LAI_t )))⋅LAI_t⋅nrd_t
