Simulating the Energy and Water Fluxes from Two Alkaline Desert Ecosystems over Central Asia

Figure 2

Energy balance closure at the KZ-Ara site and the KZ-Bal site. The slope of the fitted line represents energy closure ratio and is the coefficient of determination. RMSE (W m−2) is the root mean square error. The energy fluxes include sensible heat flux (), latent heat flux (), net radiation (), and ground heat flux ().
