Abstract
Daily course of heat balance components (sensible heat, latent heat of evaporation and ground heat fluxes) and evapotranspiration were computed from meterological data recorded in a sedge-grass marsh in South Bohemia, Czechoslovakia. Bowen-ratio method and tank measurements were used, and several comparisons made with parallel aerodynamic measurements. Two simplified empirical formulae for calculating evapotranspiration are suggested: one based on net radiation, the other based on net radiation and on the difference between the mean relative air humidities at the upper and lower levels of the boundary layer above the stand. The seasonal courses and totals of heat-balance components and evapotranspiration obtained in three years (1977 to 1979) are compared and discussed.
