Seasonal variations between sampling and classical mean turbulent heat flux estimates in the eastern North Atlantic [PDF]
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

Parametric analysis of influencing factors in Phase Change Material Wallboard (PCMW) [PDF]
Incorporating Phase Change Materials (PCMs) into traditional building structures has been considered as an effective way to reduce the mismatch between energy supply and demand and in turn to minimise energy consumption (cooling/heating energy).

Latent Heat Flux Profiles from Collocated Airborne Water Vapor and Wind Lidars during IHOP_2002
Latent heat flux profiles in the convective boundary layer (CBL) are obtained for the first time with the combination of the DLR water vapor differential absorption lidar (DIAL) and the NOAA high resolution Doppler wind lidar (HRDL).

As the main components of the atmospheric heat source/sink over the Tibetan Plateau (TP), up-to-date spatiotemporal fields of surface sensible heat flux and latent heat release by precipitation are vital for investigating the local land–atmosphere ...

Evaluation of an urban canopy model in a tropical city: the role of tree evapotranspiration
A single layer urban canopy model (SLUCM) with enhanced hydrologic processes, is evaluated in a tropical city, Singapore. The evaluation was performed using an 11 month offline simulation with the coupled Noah land surface model/SLUCM over a compact low ...

An estimate of the surface heat fluxes transfer of the Persian Gulf with the overlying atmosphere
The ocean heat exchange process is a key mechanism in climate variations over a broad time – scale. In this study, the long–term mean surface heat fluxes over the Persian Gulf have been estimated by the empirical relations using data derived from ...

A Comparison of Latent Heat Fluxes over Global Oceans for Four Flux Products [PDF]
To improve our understanding of global energy and water cycle variability, and to improve model simulations of climate variations, it is vital to have accurate latent heat fluxes (LHF) over global oceans. Monthly LHF, 10-m wind speed (U10m), 10-m specific humidity (Q10h), and sea-air humidity difference (Qs-Q10m) of GSSTF2 (version 2 Goddard Satellite ...

On the determination of the spatial energy balance of a megacity on the example of Cairo, Egypt [PDF]
This research deals with different aspects of the spatial urban energy balance on the example of the megacity Cairo, Egypt. The energy balance and its single terms were measured in situ during a field campaign in Cairo at three different locations (urban,

Modelling evapotranspiration during precipitation deficits: identifying critical processes in a land surface model [PDF]
Surface fluxes from land surface models (LSMs) have traditionally been evaluated against monthly, seasonal or annual mean states. The limited ability of LSMs to reproduce observed evaporative fluxes under water-stressed conditions has been previously ...
