What will I learn?
This course equips you with essential methods to measure surface energy, soil heat storage, and water balances over brief intervals. Gain skills in calculating radiation, sensible and latent heat fluxes, soil temperature shifts, and evapotranspiration through straightforward equations, actual data inputs, and basic models. Additionally, master evaluating uncertainties and presenting results clearly for reliable and shareable analyses.
