Spatial Distribution of Sensible and Latent Heat Flux in the City of Basel (Switzerland) [PDF]
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2018 Urban surfaces are a complex mixture of different land covers and surface materials; the relative magnitudes of the surface energy balance components therefore vary widely across a city. Eddy covariance (EC) measurements provide the best estimates of turbulent heat fluxes but are restricted to the source area.

On the interaction between marine boundary layer cellular cloudiness and surface heat fluxes [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014 The interaction between marine boundary layer cellular cloudiness and surface fluxes of sensible and latent heat is investigated. The investigation focuses on the non-precipitating closed-cell state and the precipitating open-cell state at low ...

Spatial Disaggregation of Latent Heat Flux Using Contextual Models over India
Remote Sensing, 2017 Estimation of latent heat flux at the agricultural field scale is required for proper water management. The current generation thermal sensors except Landsat-8 provide data on the order of 1000 m.

Surface-sensible and latent heat fluxes over the Tibetan Plateau from ground measurements, reanalysis, and satellite data [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014 Estimations from meteorological stations over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) indicate that since the 1980s the surface-sensible heat flux has been decreasing continuously, and modeling studies suggest that such changes are likely linked to the weakening of the

Intraseasonal Latent Heat Flux Based on Satellite Observations [PDF]
Journal of Climate, 2009 Abstract Weekly average satellite-based estimates of latent heat flux (LHTFL) are used to characterize spatial patterns and temporal variability in the intraseasonal band (periods shorter than 3 months). As expected, the major portion of intraseasonal variability of LHTFL is due to winds, but spatial variability of humidity and SST are ...

Assessing electron heat flux dropouts as signatures of magnetic field line disconnection from the Sun [PDF]
, 2005 Suprathermal electrons focused along magnetic field lines, called the strahl, carry heat flux away from the Sun. Various factors can cause heat flux dropouts (HFDs), including times when the strahl almost vanishes.

Multifractal character of surface latent heat flux
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2006 Abstract Surface latent heat flux (SLHF) has been associated with the study of natural hazards, such as earthquakes and hurricanes and has been proposed as a useful quantity in the prediction and monitoring of their evolution. In the present study the Mediterranean Sea, parts of Europe, Africa and Turkey are mapped with regard to the multifractal ...

Components of near-surface energy balance derived from satellite soundings – Part 2: Noontime latent heat flux [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 This paper introduces a relatively simple method for recovering global fields of latent heat flux. The method focuses on specifying Bowen ratio estimates through exploiting air temperature and vapour pressure measurements obtained from infrared soundings
