Quantitative knowledge of the surface energy balance is essential for the prediction of
weather and climate. However, a multitude of studies from around the world indicate that the …

This paper gives an overview of 20 years of research on the energy balance closure
problem. It will be shown that former assumptions that measuring errors or storage terms are …

The energy balance at most surface-atmosphere flux research sites remains unclosed. The
mechanisms underlying the discrepancy between measured energy inputs and outputs …

Twenty years have passed since the first German-language edition of this book was
published. Subsequently, parallel German-and English-language editions were produced in …

This chapter describes corrections that must be applied to measurements because practical
instrumentation cannot fully meet the requirements of the underlying micrometeorological …

This study evaluates the impact of post-field data processing methods on eddy covariance
flux estimates and the resulting energy balance residual. To that end, a dataset from the …

This paper presents a multi-site (> 20) analysis of the relative and absolute energy balance
(EB) closure at European FLUXNET sites, as a function of the stability parameter ξ, the …

The panel discussion on energy balance closure correction for trace gas fluxes was
embedded into a conference on transport and chemistry in forest ecosystems. The …

Abstract The Chequamegon Heterogeneous Ecosystem Energy-Balance Study Enabled by
a High-Density Extensive Array of Detectors 2019 (CHEESEHEAD19) is an ongoing …

In the first part, this paper synthesises the main results from a series of previous studies on
the closure of the local energy balance at low-vegetation sites during the LITFASS-2003 …
