Abstract

The scale invariance of relationships between the latent or sensible heat flux and radiometric canopy temperature is discussed along with the use of visible and infrared reflectance to determine canopy conductance, leaf water content, and other parameters in the relationships. These properties are studied at a range of spatial scales (10 m to 1 km) and under a variety of vegetation and observing conditions (e.g., with and without clouds present).
