Investigating water and energy fluxes partitioning on heterogeneous terrain

本项目旨在发展、实施和评价一种实地监测技术，该技术建立在新的理论发展的基础上，利用有限数量的温度、湿度和土壤和树冠上净辐射测量来量化土壤和植被的蒸发和蒸腾作用。这项新技术旨在描述在地形复杂和植被斑驳的地区，植被覆盖对能量和水通量分配的影响。该项目旨在产生新的现场试验设计，以最佳利用现有技术，并且不受传统方法（例如，涡流协方差法，鲍文比法）所需的提取大小的限制。

This project aims to develop, implement and evaluate a field monitoring technique building upon new theoretical developments to quantify evaporation and transpiration from soil and vegetation using a limited number of measurements of temperature, humidity and net radiation above soil and canopies. This new technique aims to characterise in situ the effect of vegetation cover on the partitioning of energy and water fluxes in areas with complex terrain and patchy vegetation. The project aims to produce new field experiment designs for optimal use of available technology and without restrictive limitations of fetch size required by traditional approaches (for example, eddy-covariance, Bowen ratio method).
