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 ...

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 ...

Variability of the surface energy balance in permafrost-underlain boreal forest [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2021 Boreal forests in permafrost regions make up around one-third of the global forest cover and are an essential component of regional and global climate patterns.

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.
