Estimating daytime latent heat flux and evapotranspiration in Jamaica

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2000
The suitability of the two-parameter scheme of De Bruin and Holtslag (1982) to estimate daytime latent heat flux and evapotranspiration in Jamaica was examined using meteorological data collected over fields of short grass. The study covered three different periods, January to February of 1994, January to February of 1990, and August to September of ...

Diurnal Variation in Surface Latent Heat Flux and the Effect of Diurnal Variability on the Climatological Latent Heat Flux over the Tropical Oceans

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2021
AbstractDiurnal variation in surface latent heat flux (LHF) and the effects of diurnal variations in LHF-related variables on the climatological LHF are examined using observations from the Global Tropical Moored Buoy Array. The estimated amplitude of the climatological diurnal LHF over the Indo-Pacific warm pool and the equatorial Pacific and Atlantic

Determination of the latent heat flux in fog

Atmospheric Environment (1967), 1986
Abstract The latent heat flux has been determined during a fog situation by using a method based on the surface heat balance equation and a parameterization of the sensible heat flux. The computed values of the latent heat flux show that it is connected with changes in fog density.

Partitioning of latent heat flux at a northern peatland

Aquatic Botany, 2007
Abstract The partitioning of latent heat flux ( Q E ) to vascular plant and moss surface components was assessed for a Sphagnum -dominated bog with a hummock–hollow surface having a sparse canopy of low shrubs. Results from porometry and eddy covariance measurements of Q E showed evaporation from the moss surface ranged from greater than 50% of ...

The sensitivity and optimization of the model parameters for the simulation of latent heat flux

2010 Sixth International Conference on Natural Computation, 2010
The land surface model (LSM) is very complex, and its parameters are one of the key sources of model prediction error. In order to improve the ability of the simulation, the study addressed the parameter sensitivity analysis, optimization and its effect on the simulated latent heat fluxes from the Noah LSM.

Effects of dynamic heat fluxes on model climate sensitivity: Meridional sensible and latent heat fluxes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 1985
We incorporate physically based parameterizations of atmospheric meridional heat fluxes into the climate model of Wang et al. (1984) to study their effects on climate changes caused by increases of CO2 abundance and solar constant variations. The physically based parameterizations calculate both the magnitudes and profiles of the sensible and latent ...

Sensible and latent heat flux estimates in Antarctica

1993
The assumption has been made that the net annual contribution of water by the processes of deposition and sublimation to the Antarctic Ice Sheet is zero. The U.S. Antarctic Program started installing reliable automatic weather stations on the Antarctic Continent in 1980.

Latent Heat Flux from Small Sheltered Lakes

Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1998
The dependency of the latent heat flux on the over-water fetch on lakes surrounded by tall, dense forest was studied by making use of measurements made on two different-sized lakes. The measurements were made during the NOPEX (Northern Hemisphere Climate-Processes Land Surface Experiment) field campaign.

Sensible and latent heat flux over natural bog vegetation

1995
Abstract Goudriaan's crop model is tested for its ability to describe the energy balance of a natural bog vegetation. Data used to drive the model were collected during the summer of 1994. Model results were compared with field data obtained by means of the eddy correlation technique.
