The process of interception is studied by comparing observations of net rainfall near a wind exposed forest edge with simulations of evaporation from a wet canopy. The simulations show a strong enhancement of the evaporation rate from the wet forest canopy near the upwind edge. The increased evaporation rate should result in an increased interception loss and a decreased throughfall near the edge...
