Land surface parameterization for regional surface heat transfer in hilly grasslandRadiometrically obtained surface temperature data and wind and temperature data from the atmospheric boundary layer are analyzed to determine the regional surface-heat flux. Monin-Obukhov similarity theory is employed to analyze the wind speed and the relationship between the surface potential temperature and the potential temperature. The radiometric scalar roughness is considered and found to be related to solar elevation and canopy height, although the regional sensible heat flux derived by the similarity theory analysis agrees with measured flux values.
