   Keywords : Energy balance; energy balance closure; energy balance ratio; net radiation; sensible heat; latent heat; turbulent fluxes; ground heat flux; energy storage; available energy; Bowen ratio; evaporative fraction; latent heat of vaporization; water balance; evapotranspiration; precipitation; water storage; water discharge; gross primary production; ecosystem respiration; net ecosystem production; carbon exchange; water use efficiency; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The claims for the potential of boreal and sub-boreal forests to combat negative effects of climate change have been substantial with over half of Earth’s primary forests found within boreal and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Given the likely occurrence of more extreme climate events in the future, ascertaining a better understanding of how climate effects, such as profound fluctuations in precipitation, decreases in yearly snow, faster snow melt rates, variability in evapotranspiration due to environmental stress, and related changes in the energy, hydrological, and carbon cycles will change these northern, boreal landscapes is crucial.

3. 2. Application of the eddy-covariance method under the canopy at a boreal forest site in central Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Vlad Pirvulescu; [2013]
   Keywords : closed-path system; open-path system; soil chambers; latent heat flux; carbon dioxide flux; sensible heat flux; Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; eddy-covariance; Norunda; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The eddy-covariance (EC) method was applied at 1.5 m height, for the period 2007-2010 at Norunda, central Sweden, for calculating energy (sensible and latent heat) and carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes. The aim of this study was to assess the applicability of EC method above the forest floor. READ MORE

4. 3. Measurements and modelling of turbulence characteristics in stable boundary layers

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Meteorologiska institutionen

   Author : Liselott Larsson; [1997]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Measurements collected at Cabauw, the Netherlands, during the period November 1996 to May 1997, have been evaluated. The study was focused on the calculation of turbulence characteristics and profiles of wind speed and temperature under stable and near neutral conditions in the atmospheric surface-layer. READ MORE
