Instantaneous near surface air temperature and sensible heat flux fields during the SEMAPHORE experiment using satellite data ( PolarAirSeairsea)
A new technique was developed to retrieve near surface instantaneous air temperatures and turbulent sensible heat fluxes using satellite data during the SEMAPHORE experiment, which was conducted in 1993 under mainly anticyclonic conditions. The method is based on a regional, horizontal atmospheric ...
These results suggested that biases observed for instantaneous pixel-by-pixel values of Rni, Gi and other intermediate components of the algorithm were presumably absorbed into the computation of sensible heat flux as a result of the internal self-calibration of METRIC.Carrasco-Benavides...
It has two main drawbacks: several variables that can only be measured in weather stations are needed and, as the Bowen ratio (the ratio between the sensible heat flux and the latent heat flux) is one of them, it is necessary to know the latent heat flux (LE) to use ADEBAT. However...
