Appendix A: Micrometeorological, Soil, and Evapotranspiration Data Workbooks
Micrometeorological and soil-moisture data, and evapotranspiration
(ET) are presented in Microsoft Excel workbooks as part of this report. Two
workbooks are available for each site; one workbook (http://pubs.water.usgs.gov/ofr20061312/data/et.zip)
contains the micrometeorological data, energy-budget fluxes, and daily ET values
(calculated using both the Bowen ratio and eddy covariance methods) and the
other workbook (http://pubs.water.usgs.gov/ofr20061312/data/soil.zip) contains
the soil-moisture data.
Microsoft Excel workbook containing the micrometeorological data, energy-budget
fluxes, and ET include:
A. Micrometeorological data worksheet (20-minute intervals):
- Air temperature, vapor pressure, and dew point temperature
at two heights,
- average relative humidity,
- wind speed and direction, and
- soil temperature, and time change in air and soil temperature.
B. Bowen ratio energy-budget fluxes and ET worksheet (20-minute intervals):
- Net radiation,
- sensible heat flux,
- latent heat flux,
- soil heat flux, and
- ET values.
C. Eddy covariance fluxes and ET worksheet (20-minute intervals):
- Net radiation,
- sensible heat flux uncorrected,
- sensible heat flux Webb (1980) corrected,
- latent heat flux uncorrected,
- latent heat flux Webb (1980) corrected,
- soil heat flux, and
- ET values.
D. ET worksheet (daily intervals):
- Bowen ratio and
- eddy covariance.
E. Plots of daily ET for an annual cycle:
- Bowen ratio and
- eddy covariance.
Workbook containing soil-moisture values:
A. Soil-moisture worksheet (hourly intervals):
- Matric water potential and
- volumetric water content.
B. Soil-moisture worksheet (daily average values):
- Matric water potential and
- volumetric water content.
