The Bowen ratio, the ratio of the turbulent surface fluxes of sensible (Hₛ) and latent (Hₗ) heat, Bo ≡ Hₛ/Hₗ, occurs throughout micrometeorology. It finds application in the Bowen ratio and energy budget method, where it provides both turbulent heat fluxes when only the available energy at the surface is...
