Improving Soil Heat Flux Accuracy with the Philip Correction Technique
Soil heat flux Gs is an important component of the surface energy balance. Soil heat flux plates (SHFPs) are widely used to measure Gs, although several errors are known to occur. The Philip correction has been applied to minimize errors in Gs measured

Derivation of Heat Conductivity from Temperature and Heat Flux Measurements in Soil [PDF]
The general inverse problem formulation for a heat conductance equation is adopted for the types of measurement routinely carried out in the soil active layer. The problem solution delivers a constant thermal diffusivity coefficient a0 (in general, different from true value a) and respective heat conductivity λ0 for the layer, located between two ...

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,

Global Investigation of Soil Moisture and Latent Heat Flux Coupling Strength
As a key variable in the climate system, soil moisture (SM) plays a central role in the Earth's terrestrial water, energy, and biogeochemical cycles through its coupling with surface latent heat flux (LH).

A Measurement of Heat Flux to the Soil
In order to investigate the heat flux to the soil, the author carried out the observatious of soil temperature, the volume percent of dry soil, water and air be contained withn the soil from November to December in 1957 at Tateno, Ibaragi Pref.The results are as follows;1) The heat capacity (ρc) of the soil is calculated form following formla ...

A novel approach to evaluate soil heat flux calculation: An analytical review of nine methods
There are no direct methods to evaluate calculated soil heat flux (SHF) at the surface (G0). Instead, validation and cross evaluation of methods for calculating G0 usually rely on the conventional calorimetric method or the degree of the surface energy ...

A mathematical model to calculate soil heat flux in three steps is presented. In the first, an hourly air temperature based on the average daily temperature, using Fourier series coefficients is estimated. The estimated hourly air temperature constitutes an input variable for the second step of the model.

Evaluation of the Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) applied to ASTER imagery with flux-measurements at the SPARC 2004 site (Barrax, Spain) [PDF]
Accurate quantification of the amount and spatial variation of evapotranspiration is important in a wide range of disciplines. Remote sensing based surface energy balance models have been developed to estimate turbulent surface energy fluxes at different
