The Bowen ratio is a property of a surface, specifically the ratio between two types of heat transfer (sensible heat and latent heat). The wetter the surface, the lower the ratio.<ref name="bowen" />


==Notes==
==Notes==
* {{Heat DPRA Report}} uses only two possible values for the Bowen ratio: 0.4 and 3.0.
* The Foliage height for an area will be the same for each position in the area. The height is not interpolated as with the [[Foliage crown factor (Heat Overlay)|Foliage crown factor]].
* Terrains such as grassland and [[Function|functions]] such as trees and vegetation generally have a ratio of 0.4.
* When multiple [Area|areas] overlap for a particular grid cell, the Foliage height is averaged.
* Water is special in the sense that during the day the ratio is 0.4 and at night the ratio is 3.0.
* The other functions and terrains have a Bowen ratio of 3.0

Notes

  • The Foliage height for an area will be the same for each position in the area. The height is not interpolated as with the Foliage crown factor.
  • When multiple [Area|areas] overlap for a particular grid cell, the Foliage height is averaged.
