The Bowen Ratio Surface Flux Observations (KSU) Data Set
contains surface flux measurements made at selected sites within
the FIFE area. The sites were equipped with Bowen ratio
equipment that was operated by several different groups. Each
surface flux station was capable of measuring the fluxes of net
radiation, latent heat and sensible heat. The Bowen ratio
stations measured the soil heat flux ... as well. The components
of the energy balance were determined with the Bowen Ratio
Energy Balance (BREB) method. The BREB is a combination of the
transport and the energy balance equations. The surface flux and
micrometeorological measurements available in this data set were
collected from 23 locations with 27 site identifiers from 1987
through 1989. Thirteen of these locations were instrumented with
stationary bowen ratio systems which collected daily
measurements for months. These systems were all located in the
northwest quadrant of the FIFE study area within the Konza
Prairie Natural Research Area. Ten locatio
