Energy Balance Estimates of ET Energy Balance Estimates of ET ET is calculated as a component of the energy balance. ET is calculated as a component of the energy balance. λ ET H = λ R n - G G - - H = ET R n - : Net surface radiation flux density (Wm - -2 2 ) R n ) R n : Net surface radiation flux density (Wm G : Ground heat flux density (Wm - -2 2 ) ) G : Ground heat flux density (Wm H : Sensible heat flux density (Wm - -2 2 ) ) H : Sensible heat flux density (Wm λ ET : Latent heat flux density (Wm λ -2 2 ) ET : Latent heat flux density (Wm - ) λ : Latent heat of vaporization of water (Jkg λ -1 1 ) : Latent heat of vaporization of water (Jkg - )
