Incorporating the effect of heterogeneous surface heating into a semi-empirical model of the surface energy balance closure [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 It was discovered several decades ago that eddy covariance measurements systematically underestimate sensible and latent heat fluxes, creating an imbalance in the surface energy budget.

Surface Energy Balance of Fresh and Saline Waters: AquaSEBS [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2016 Current earth observation models do not take into account the influence of water salinity on the evaporation rate, even though the salinity influences the evaporation rate by affecting the density and latent heat of vaporization.

The mark of vegetation change on Earth’s surface energy balance [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Depending on where and when it occurs, vegetation cover change can affect local climate by altering the surface energy balance. Based on satellite data, this study provides the first data-driven assessment of such effects for multiple vegetation ...

Processes governing the mass balance of Chhota Shigri Glacier (western Himalaya, India) assessed by point-scale surface energy balance measurements [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 Some recent studies revealed that Himalayan glaciers were shrinking at an accelerated rate since the beginning of the 21st century. However, the climatic causes for this shrinkage remain unclear given that surface energy balance studies are almost ...

The surface energy balance of Austre Lovénbreen, Svalbard, during the ablation period in 2014
Polar Research, 2021 The ability to simulate the surface energy balance is key to studying land–atmosphere interactions; however, it remains a weakness in Arctic polar sciences.
