800 60아 R RN 400아 200아 Rgt 200 -400 -600l 4 8 20 24 12 16 TIME (h) Figure 3.4 Observed radiation budget over a 0.2 m stand of native grass at Matador, Saskatchewan, on 30 July 1971. [From Oke (1987); after Ripley and Redmann (1976).] components of Equation (3.10) for a clear August day in England over a thick stand of grass, when the diurnal variation of grass temperature was about 20°C. Note that in this case about one-fourth of the incident solar radiation was reflected back by the surface, while about three-fourths was absorbed. The net radiation is slightly less than Rs, even during the midday hours, because of the net loss due to longwave radiation. The diurnal variation of RLi is much less than that of RL↑ (28% variation in RLt is consistent with the observed diurnal range of 20°C in surface temperature). ENERGY FLUX (Wm-2)
