The role of surface roughness, albedo, and Bowen ratio on ecosystem energy balance in the Eastern United States [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Land cover and land use influence surface climate through differences in biophysical surface properties, including partitioning of sensible and latent heat (e.g., Bowen ratio), surface roughness, and albedo.

Environmental and Biophysical Effects of the Bowen Ratio over Typical Farmland Ecosystems in the Loess Plateau

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
The Bowen ratio (β) comprehensively reflects physical characteristics of the land-surface climate. In this study, eddy covariance systems installed at Dingxi and Qingyang were used to conduct energy distribution measurements and observations ...

Characteristics and influencing factors of Bowen ratio variation in typical terrestrial ecosystems in China

open access: yesChinese Journal of Plant Ecology, 2021
Aims Bowen ratio ( β ) is an important parameter in land-surface processes. It affects the energy exchange between the surface and the atmosphere. This paper used integrated analyses to investigate the spatial variability and influencing factors of β ...

Energy Distribution Characteristics and Environmental Impact Factors in Different Regions of the Summer Monsoon Transition Zone

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
The summer monsoon transitional zone is a typical transitional ecosystem that is, also ecologically fragile. It is critical to explore the land surface energy balance and the water and heat transfer processes in this region for water resource management.

Understanding the Partitioning of the Available Energy over the Semi-Arid Areas of the Loess Plateau, China

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2017
To investigate the mechanism of available energy partitioning to sensible and latent heat fluxes over semi-arid regions, data from the Semi-Arid Climate and Environment Observatory of Lanzhou University (SACOL) were analyzed to assess the effects of soil

Guidelines for validating Bowen ratio data [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Relative Humidity as an Indicator for Cloud Formation over Heterogeneous land surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The influence of land surface heterogeneity on potential cloud formation is investigated using relative humidity as an indicator. This is done by performing numerical experiments using a large-eddy simulation model (LES).
