What will I learn?
Gain practical skills to measure surface energy, soil heat storage, and water balances over brief intervals. Master calculations for radiation, sensible and latent heat fluxes, soil temperature shifts, and evapotranspiration with straightforward equations, actual data, and basic models. Develop expertise in evaluating uncertainties and presenting results clearly for reliable communication.
