Seasonal evapotranspiration, energy fluxes and turbulence variance characteristics of a Mediterranean coastal grassland

A hydrological year of evapotranspiration (ET) and energy exchanges, for a coastal grassland in the Mediterranean-climate of Greece, are reported. Throughout the growing season, available energy (Rnet-G) was transformed to latent heat flux by 67% while during the senescence period the turbulent exchange was dominated by sensible heat flux accounting for 80.42% of (Rnet-G). Evapotranspiration reached maxima of 8.2 mm d−1 in July while it was...
