It was discovered several decades ago that eddy covariance measurements systematically underestimate sensible and latent heat fluxes, creating an imbalance in the surface energy budget. Since then, many studies have addressed this problem…
The dissipative nature of heat transfer relaxes thermal flows to an equilibrium state that is devoid of temperature gradients. The distance to reach an equilibrium temperature -- the thermal entrance length -- is a consequence of diffusion…
