Surface Energy Balance

2011
This entry describes the components of the surface energy balance (SEB) over snow and ice: shortwave and longwave radiation, the turbulent fluxes of sensible and latent heat, and the subsurface (conductive) heat flux. If the surface is melting, the sum of these fluxes determines the melt rate.

A surface energy‐balance computer

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1960
AbstractA surface energy‐balance computer is described. This is fed with such information as dry‐ and wet‐bulb temperatures and temperature differences in the vertical (in the form of fine wire thermocouple outputs) and wind speed differences. The psychrometric equation is solved automatically to yield a vapour‐pressure difference and the latent‐heat ...
