  39. The Energetics of afforestation/deforestation is complicated • Forests have a low albedo, are darker and absorb more energy • But, Ironically the darker forest maybe cooler (Tsfc) than a bright grassland due to evaporative cooling

  40. Forests Transpire effectively, causing evaporative cooling, which in humid regions may form clouds and reduce planetary albedo

  41. Theoretical Difference in Air Temperature: Grass vsSavanna: Grass Tair is much cooler if we only consider albedo Summer Conditions

  42. And Smaller Temperature Difference, like field measurements, if we consider PBL, Rc, Raand albedo….!! Summer Conditions

  43. Tsfc can vary by 10 C by changing Ra and Rs

  44. Tsfc can vary by 10 C by changing albedo and Rs

  45. Tair can vary by 3 C by changing albedo and Rs

  46. Tair can vary by 3 C by changing Ra and Rs

  47. Summary • Evaporation can be measured with • Aerodynamic and Energy Balance Methods, as well as eddy covariance • Penman-Monteith Equation unites theories relating to evaporation on the basis of energy balance and Ohm’s Law for water vapor • Surface Conditions and Fluxes are NOT independent of the dynamics of the Planetary Boundary Layer ESPM 129 Biometeorology
