. Eddy-correlation measurements above a maize crop using a simple cruciform hot-wire anemometer. Agric. Meteorol., 20: 397--410.
For measurements of the vertical transport of heat and momentum in the turbulent and slightly unstable boundary layer above a maize crop eddy-correlation techniques were applied. In addition to a vertical Gill-propellor anemometer and a Gill-propellor bivane, a cruciform hot-wire probe, mounted on a small windvane, were used.
With this hot-wire system the heat and momentum fluxes could be measured in a relatively simple way.
The possibilities and limitations of this system were checked.
