Abstract:
The surface soil heat flux is usually small and difficult to measure. It is a component of surface energy balance but it is often neglected during the estimation of evaporation. In this study, surface soil heat flux was corrected with the soil heat flux at 5 cm depth which determined from the measurement of soil moisture and temperature and soil properties. The effects of surface soil heat flux to the estimation of evapotranspiration were exam and evaluated at the 24 stations in Alabama.
