Heat and water transfer in bare topsoil and the lower atmosphere
1996
ten Berge, H.F.M.
This book describes an analysis of processes and factors that affect the energy balance of bare soil, and the associated exchange of heat and moisture at the surface. After a brief treatment of basic transport theory, the processes of soil-atmosphere interaction are expressed in a simulation algorithm. This algorithm provides an instrument to study the 'conditioning' effect of soil on the lower atmosphere, and vice versa. Examples of sensitivity analysis are presented, with emphasis on the behaviour of surface temperature. In remote sensing practice, surface temperature is estimated from thermal imagery; simulation algorithms can assist in its interpretation. Field data of fluxes, state variables and soil properties are extensively discussed and are used to validate appropriate sections of the model
