SGP/EBBR/E19 - Noisy Sensible and Latent Heat Fluxes

"Noisy" sensible and latent heat fluxes often occur during daytime periods
when the net radiation is smaller (less than 150 watts/m2), but this is not
the only condition under which it occurs.  During this condition especially,
the temperature gradient, RH gradient, and thus the vapor pressure
gradient are near zero; this causes the sensible and latent heat flux gradients
to be inaccurately calculated.  Good examples of these conditions occurred
on 28 December 1997 and 6 January 1998.  However, even when there is
substantial net radiation the problem does sometimes occur; good examples of
this are found during daytime or nighttime variously on 1, 2, 3, and 4
January 1998.  The conditions occur more fequently than at other EBBR sites;
they do occur at other EBBR sites, but less frequently.
