Exclude water (Heat Overlay)

Icon	Attribute	Unit	Range	Description	Default value
	EXCLUDE_WATER	boolean		Whether the results at the location of water should be excluded from the avg sky-view and PET results.	1

The results from calculations at the locations of water may be skewed or lead to incorrect assumptions of how the calculated values should be interpreted. In addition, the DPRA Heat stress report indicates that some types of data currently cannot be measured accurately enough in a location of water. To prevent these values from affecting further calculations, or inciting questions around interpretation, it is recommended to exclude water from the end-result.
