Satellite multi-sensor data is used to derive sensible heat flux (SHF), Bowen ratio (Bo), and thus latent heat flux (LHF) in the tropical Pacific. The temperature differences at the air -sea interface are determined empirically for regions where strong deep air convection is present due to the buoya

A set of semi-continuous measurements of temperature, wind and moisture gradients as well as of net radiation and ground heat flux covering a period of about one and a half years has been analysed to give a corresponding set of complete surface energy balance data on an hourly basis. An analysis of
Comparisons between sensible heat flux measured using eddy correlation instrumentation and estimated using the temperature fluctuation method are presented for four types of surface in West Africa. Agreement between measured and estimated values is good. Regression of estimated on measured sensible
The definition of the sensible heat flux is examined in the light of a paper published by . We show that the convergence of the flux defined in this paper and that of the standard definition are related to different quantities and that care must be taken to ensure that compatible definitions are use
The authors present the results of a comparison of wind parameters and heat flux inferred from Doppler SODAR (Sensitron/Sweden) with direct measurements using an acoustic anemometer (Kaijo-Denki, DAT 300) and a platinum wire thermometer. Rather important are the results of a calibration method for C
