The completely revised and updated edition of the classic guide to soil physics The revised
edition of an environmental soil science classic, Soil Physics, Sixth Edition presents updated …

This study investigates the energy exchanges occurring within an urban canyon. It considers
not only the energy balances of each of the canyon component surfaces (walls and floor) …

The flux density of sensible heat to or from storage in the physical mass of the city is
determined for seven cities (Chicago, Illinois; Los Angeles, California; Mexico City, Distrito …

Reliable spatial averages of surface energy balance components are difficult to obtain
without an extensive hydrological measurement system. Our objective was to develop a …

A net-radiation-based empirical model for soil heat flux (G) is analyzed for inclusion in a
canopy-temperature-based energy balance equation to estimate evaporation from a …

An objective hydteresis model to predict the storage heat flux in urban areas is presented. A
review of observational and theoretical work reveals this approach to be more approproate …

Experimental studies indicate that evaporative fraction (EF), the ratio between the latent heat
flux and the available energy at the land surface, is a normalized diagnostic that is nearly …

Diurnal variation in soil heat flux is a key constraint on the amount of energy available for
sensible and latent heating of the lower troposphere. Many studies have demonstrated that …

Surface temperatures, T s, were estimated for a natural vegetative surface in Owens Valley,
California, with infrared thermometric observations collected from an aircraft. The region is …

Soil heat flux studies have indicated that the instantaneous daytime flux can be estimated as
a fraction of the net radiation, the ratio ranging from 0.1 to 0.5, depending on the amount of …
