Modelling the effect of vegetation on the formation of boundary layer cumulus during FIFEA 1D model is discussed which permits prediction of the effect of vegetation cover on the area-averaged boundary layer. Special attention is given to the manner in which the relative contributions of sensible and latent heat fluxes to the surface-energy budget are determined by the vegetation. The model can be effectively applied to the heterogeneous prairie environment to predict cloud cover at different times of the year demonstrating good agreement with observed conditions.
