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.

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 ...

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.

Observation of sensible and latent heat flux profiles with lidar [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2019 Abstract. We present the first measurement of the sensible heat flux (H) profile in the convective boundary layer (CBL) derived from the covariance of collocated vertical-pointing temperature rotational Raman lidar and Doppler wind lidar measurements.

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

Atmosphere, 2021 With social changes and economic development, human activities inevitably lead to significant changes in land use types. Land use and land cover change (LUCC) leads to a series of changes in energy balance and surface temperature, which has an impact on ...

Seasonal variations between sampling and classical mean turbulent heat flux estimates in the eastern North Atlantic [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1995 The two commonly used statistical measures of the air-sea heat flux, the sampling and classical means, have been compared using hourly reports over a 7-year-period from a weather ship stationed in the NE Atlantic. The sampling mean is the average over
