Recent micrometeorological measurements for Amazonian rainforest are reviewed, emphasising those aspects of the radiation and heat balance which are likely to change with deforestation. The possible consequences of Such deforestation are considered by examining the sensitivity of the surface energy

## Abstract Measurements of radiation and soil energy balance components were made for a complete solar season on a south and north facing slope on the edge of the Chilterns, England. The contrasts between the two slopes are illustrated on both the diurnal and seasonal timeβscale. It is shown that
The sensible heat loss from a stand ofwinter wheat was calculated from radiometric measurements of crop surface temperature, measurements of air temperature, and an atmospheric resistance to momentum transfer; corresponding latent heat flux was obtained through the energy balance equation. These est
