Problem 8.1. On a given day, the following meteorological and surface measurements were collected at noon from a bare soil field site in the Emerald Lake watershed: Air temperature = 11.5°C Air relative humidity 46.5% 714 mb - = Surface air pressure Wind speed at 2m height 1.9 m s-¹ Soil surface temperature = 22.5°C The measurements are taken on the first sunny day after a rainstorm (you can assume the soil is saturated). The soil roughness elements have an average characteristic height of 5 cm. For simplicity, assume neutral atmospheric conditions. - a) What additional information/input data would you need if the soil were not saturated? b) Use the appropriate model to compute the instantaneous latent and sensible heat fluxes. c) What is the equivalent evaporation rate (in mm/day) from the surface at noon?
