DESCRIPTION
i.eb.hsebal01 will calculate the sensible heat flux map (h0), given both maps of Net Radiation and soil Heat flux (Rn, g0) at instantaneous time, the surface roughness (z0m), a map of the altitude corrected temperature (t0dem), a point data of the frictional velocity (u*), a value of actual vapour pressure (ea[KPa]) and the (x,y) pairs for wet and dry pixels. Full process will need those:

    •   i.vi, i.albedo, r.latlong, i.emissivity

    •   i.evapo.potrad (GRASS Addon)

    •   i.eb.netrad, i.eb.soilheatflux, i.eb.hsebal01

    •   i.eb.evapfr, i.eb.eta
(for time integration: i.evapo.time_integration)

i.eb.hsebal01 performs the computation of sensible heat flux [W/m2] after Bastiaanssen, 1995 in [1], used in this form in 2001 by [2]. Implemented in this code in [3].

NOTES

    •   z0m can be alculated by i.eb.z0m or i.eb.z0m0 (GRASS Addons).

    •   ea can be calculated with standard meteorological data.
        eoTmin=0.6108*EXP(17.27*Tmin/(Tmin+237.3))
        eoTmax=0.6108*EXP(17.27*Tmax/(Tmax+237.3))
        ea=(RH/100)/((eoTmin+eoTmax)/2)

    •   t0dem = surface temperature + (altitude * 0.627 / 100)
