Turbulent heat flux profile calculation from two-boom variables #133

Open PennyHow opened 1 year ago

PennyHow commented 1 year ago

Currently sensible heat flux (SHF) and latent heat flux (LHF) are calculated using the bulk method as described in Section 3.3.2 of Fausto et al., 2021. This is based on the Monin–Obukhov similarity theory.

However, a profile calculation could be applied using the measurements from the two-boom stations, which would be more suitable in these settings.

I'm not sure what this will look like here, but would be a great addition to the toolbox and the datasets. This paper appears to have a good overview of the methodologies.
