Spatial scales of sensible heat flux variability : representativeness of flux measurements and surface layer structure over suburban terrain

The surface character of a suburban area is far from the uniform, smooth and flat planes over which current surface-layer theory is valid and where vertical eddy-fluxes can be assumed to be almost constant horizontally and vertically. The complexity of the surface introduces considerable variability...
