Abstract: An expression is presented for the roughness length of water vapor (or sensible heat, etc.) that is the surface value intercept of the straight line resulting from a semi-logarithmic plot of the mean specific humidity (or ...

Abstract: The scalar roughness for sensible beat can be directly formulated in terms of the surface temperature. Therefore, in the case of an anisothermal vegetation canopy, the concept of a scalar roughness is ill defined and it ...

Abstract: Remotely sensed images of vegetation density expressed as the Normalized Difference Vegetation index (NDVI) recorded during the First ISLSCP (International Satellite Land Surface Climatology Project) Field Experiment were ...

Abstract: A comparison was made between temperature and humidity profiles obtained from radiosonde measurements under unstable conditions over hilly terrain in northeastern Kansas during the summer and fall of 1987. The summer ...

Abstract: Measurements were made of the profiles of mean wind velocity, of temperature, and of specific humidity in the unstable atmospheric boundary layer over macro-rough terrain; these data were obtained from radiosonde observations ...

Abstract: Inversion fluxes of water vapor are calculated for 11 clear days using profile data from a sequence of radio soundings over hilly terrain in the Pre-Alpine region of Switzerland. The relationships between the mixed layer ...

Abstract: Evaporation from eight 1-inch deep square pans was studied. The pans were insulated with styrofoam and built in three different sizes. The 1-ft and the 8-ft pans were executed in two colors, black and white, and the 4-ft ...

Abstract: Experimental evaporation data which were obtained with shallow, square pans of different sizes and colors, were studied by means of regression analysis relating evaporation with the difference between the water vapor ...

Abstract: An analysis was made of vertical profiles of mean specific humidity in the hilly pre-Alpine region in Switzerland under conditions of new neutral atmospheric stability. The profile data were derived from radiosonde ...
