✦ Synopsis

Eddy correlation measurements were made of fluxes of moisture, heat and momentum at a tallgrass prairie site near Manhattan, Kansas, U.S.A. during the First ISLSCP* Field Experiment (FIFE) in 1987. The study site is dominated by three C, grass species: big bluestem (Andropogon gerurdii), indiangrass (Sorghastrum natans), and switchgrass (Panicam virgatttm). The stomata1 conductance and leaf water potential of these grass species were also measured.

In this paper, daily and seasonal variations in the components of the surface energy balance are examined. The aerodynamic and canopy surface conductances for the prairie vegetation are also evaluated.
