Parameterization of canopy resistance for modeling the energy partitioning of a paddy rice field

Models for predicting hourly canopy resistance (r_c) and latent heat flux (LET) based on the Penman–Monteith (PM) and bulk transfer methods are presented. The micrometeorological data and LET were observed during paddy rice-growing seasons in 2010 in Japan. One approach to model r_c was using an aerodynamic resistance (r...
