Seasonal and interannual variation in evapotranspiration, energy balance and surface conductance in a northern temperate grassland

The eddy covariance technique was used to measure evapotranspiration and sensible heat flux continuously for 2.5 years (three growing seasons) in a northern grassland near Lethbridge, Alta., Canada. The 1999 growing season had precipitation (226.9 mm) near the 30-year average value (1971–2000; 206.4...

description The eddy covariance technique was used to measure evapotranspiration and sensible heat flux continuously for 2.5 years (three growing seasons) in a northern grassland near Lethbridge, Alta., Canada. The 1999 growing season had precipitation (226.9 mm) near the 30-year average value (1971–2000; 206.4±77.5; mean±S.D.). In contrast, the 1998 growing season precipitation (295.3 mm) was significantly above average and almost four times greater than the 2000 growing season precipitation (75.1 mm), which was significantly below average. The 1998 growing season had higher peak evapotranspiration (4.5 mm per day) than values observed in 1999 and 2000, when the highest evapotranspiration was approximately 3 mm per day. Evapotranspiration during the winter periods was normally

The decoupling coefficient (ranged between 0.2 and 0.3) indicated that evapotranspiration was strongly controlled by surface conductance in this grassland. The highest λE/ λE eq values (0.7–0.8) occurred in June and July 1998, before the exhaustion of soil moisture reduced values to &lt;0.4 in late August. Lower values were recorded in 1999 and 2000, often below 0.5. A non-linear model of surface conductance that included functions for vapor pressure deficit, photon flux density, and available soil moisture explained a large proportion of the variation in the surface conductance data.
