Foliage height (Heat Overlay)
Revision as of 13:20, 18 December 2019 by Frank@tygron.nl (talk | contribs) (Created page with "{{Overlay attribute |attribute=FOLIAGE_HEIGHT |unit=m |description=the top height of foliage for a surface geometry described by an Area. }} The Bowen ratio is a propert...")
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.[1]
Notes
- DPRA Heat stress report uses only two possible values for the Bowen ratio: 0.4 and 3.0.
- Terrains such as grassland and functions such as trees and vegetation generally have a ratio of 0.4.
- 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
