Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

An area has a net radiation of 800 W/m², a sensible heat flux of 300 W/m², and a soil heat flux of 50 W/m². Calculate the latent heat flux and the Bowen Ratio.

💡 Hint: Follow the order of operations in calculating the energy balance.

Question 2

Discuss how an increase in soil heat flux might influence the Bowen Ratio and subsequent ET estimates in a dry climate.

💡 Hint: Consider how each flux is interdependent in a dry setting.
