Fig. 7. Comparison of instantaneous measurements (1.5 h before local noon) of net radiation (RN), soil heat flux (G), sensible heat (H), and latent heat (LE) made in four sites of varying leaf area index (LAI) with 30-m flux estimates disaggregated using the DisALEXI technique. The root mean square difference (RMSD) between measurements and model estimates for all flux components is 38 W m-2 (12% of the mean observed flux), with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.98 (Norman et al., 2003).
