Dual versus single source models for estimating surface temperature of African savannah

Predictions of average surface temperature of a sparsely vegetated West-African savannah by both single and dual source models of surface energy partitioning are compared. Within the single source model, the ``excess resistance' to heat transfer away from the canopy (compared to momentum absorp...
