Interannual variation of the Bowen ratio in a subtropical coniferous plantation in southeast China, 2003-2012. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The interannual variation of the Bowen ratio, through its effect on the warming extent of available energy to the ecosystem land surface air, heavily influences the ecosystem microclimate and affects the hydrological cycle at both regional and global ...

A new method to measure Bowen ratios using high-resolution vertical dry and wet bulb temperature profiles [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014 The Bowen ratio surface energy balance method is a relatively simple method to determine the latent heat flux and the actual land surface evaporation. The Bowen ratio method is based on the measurement of air temperature and vapour pressure gradients. If

Guidelines for validating Bowen ratio data [PDF]
Transactions of the ASAE, 2003 For a variety of reasons, the measurement of latent heat flux using the Bowen ratio method can sometimes result in erroneous data. This study provides guidelines for detecting erroneous Bowen ratio data and illustrates the application of these guidelines

Atmospheric Boundary-Layer Dynamics with Constant Bowen Ratio [PDF]
Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 2018 Motivated by the observation that the diurnal evolution of sensible and latent heat fluxes tends to maintain a constant Bowen ratio, we derive approximate solutions of the ordinary differential equations of a simplified atmospheric boundary-layer (ABL ...

Emergent constraints on the hydrological impacts of land use and land cover change [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsLand use and land cover changes have substantial effects on the terrestrial water cycle, but their sign and magnitude remain elusive at large scales. State-of-the-art Earth system models disagree on how these changes affect terrestrial evapotranspiration.

Intercomparison of sensible and latent heat flux measurements from combined eddy covariance, energy balance, and Bowen ratio methods above a grassland prairie [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWe present a comparison of four different methods of measuring sensible (H) and latent (LE) heat fluxes for a year over a mixed grass prairie ecosystem in the Nebraska SandHills [eddy covariance (EC), energy balance/Bowen ratio (EBBR), residual energy ...

Validating Evapotranspiraiton Equations Using Bowen Ratio in New Brunswick, Maritime, Canada [PDF]
Sensors, 2008 Three methods including the Penman-Monteith (PM), Priestley-Taylor (PT), and 1963 Penman equation (PE) for calculating daily reference evapotranspiration (ETo) were evaluated in the Maritime region of Canada with the data collected from 2004 to 2007.

Bowen‐Ratio Comparisons with Lysimeter Evapotranspiration [PDF]
Agronomy Journal, 1997 AbstractWater use in agriculture by different cropping systems is of interest in determining crop water use efficiency of different tillage practices that will lead to reduced crop production risk. Lysimeters are considered the standard for evapotranspiration (ET) measurements; however, these units are often not replicated and are few in number at any ...
