✦ Synopsis

The sensible heat flux from a land surface can be estimated from the ground temperature, and the air speed and air temperature at a single height in the surface layer. To test this technique, a study was made over a newly-planted wheat field in southwestern Kansas. Hourly averages of the sensible heat flux were calculated for a two day period. The data consisted of infrared measurements of the ground temperature, and of wind speed and air temperature measurements made at 1.5 m. The results obtained were in close agreement with sensible heat flux calculations derived from profile measurements of wind speed and air temperature made concurrently at the same site.

Turbulence was measured over an irrigated alfalfa crop under conditions of sensible heat advection and under non-advective conditions. Flux-angle distributions for momentum and sensible heat were developed from these measurements. The range of updraft angles decreased under advective as compared to
