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 ...

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.

Sensitivity of a distributed temperature-radiation index melt model based on AWS observations and surface energy balance fluxes, Hurd Peninsula glaciers, Livingston Island, Antarctica [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2012 We use an automatic weather station and surface mass balance dataset spanning four melt seasons collected on Hurd Peninsula Glaciers, South Shetland Islands, to investigate the point surface energy balance, to determine the absolute and relative ...

Estimation of surface energy fluxes under complex terrain of Mt. Qomolangma over the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Surface solar radiation is an important parameter in surface energy balance models and in estimation of evapotranspiration. This study developed a DEM based radiation model to estimate instantaneous clear sky solar radiation for surface energy balance ...

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.

Statistical representation of mountain shading [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2004 Shadows cast by the mountains themselves have a strong influence on the surface energy balance of mountainous regions. If the influence of shadows is to be included on sub-grid scales in a surface energy balance model, a statistical representation has ...
