Abstract: Rates of evapotranspiration from a 14 m high Douglas fir forest on the southwest coast of British Columbia were obtained using the energy balance/Bowen ratio method and an energy balance/eddy correlation method. In the ...

Abstract: A yaw sphere-thermometer assembly, to measure sensible heat flux density by the eddy correlation method, was built following the design of Tanner and Thurtell. Wind tunnel experiments indicate that the sphere constant ...

Abstract: A large portion of the western Canadian interior exhibits a distinctive seasonal pattern in long-term mean surface temperatures characterized by anomalously warmer conditions in spring and autumn than would be expected ...

Abstract: Humidity of air is a key environmental variable in controlling the stomatal conductance (g) of plant leaves. The stomatal conductance?humidity relationships employed in the Ball?Woodrow?Berry (BWB) model and the Leuning ...

Abstract: A model has been developed to calculate the spatial distribution of the photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) in elliptical forest openings of given slopes and orientations. The PPFD is separated into direct and diffuse ...

Abstract: his study compares six evapotranspiration ET products for Canada?s landmass, namely, eddy covariance EC measurements; surface water budget ET; remote sensing ET from MODIS; and land surface model (LSM) ET from the Community ...

Abstract: he Earth System Prediction Suite (ESPS) is a collection of flagship U.S. weather and climate models and model components that are being instrumented to conform to interoperability conventions, documented to follow metadata ...
