Abstract:
Wind and temperature profiles and surface radiation temperature were measured over barley during two observation periods in Estonia. The calculated displacement height (d) could be taken as 3/4 and 2/3 of the canopy height (h) for a dense and a moderate canopy respectively. The roughness length for wind speed was best approximated with the relation z0u = 0.3(h - d). The excess resistance to heat exchange kB-1 was the most doubtful parameter, but it was concluded that kB-1 = 2 is a good estimate for the time being.
