Energy Balance and The Bowen Ratio Method Explained During the Evapotranspiration process, energy is used to convert water from liquid to vapor and transfer the vapor to the atmosphere. The Bowen-ratio method, which were used to estimate ET, are based on characteristics of the energy budget associated with atmospheric fluxes. Instrumentation two solid-state temperature and … Read more
