Synthesis of global actual evapotranspiration from 1982 to 2019 (2020, methodology): “…energy balance closure at some sites (Foken, 2008;Helgason and Pomeroy, 2012), relatively short periods, and sparse spatial coverage, it is the most direct method for measuring the exchange between the surface and the atmosphere in different ecosystems (Foken et al., 2012;Baldocchi, 2014).”
Flux calculation of short turbulent events – comparison of three methods (2016, background): “(3) Particularly important assumptions are fully developed turbulent flow as well as horizontal homogeneity of the surface and thus the flow field (Foken and Wichura, 1996; Foken et al., 2012).”
Documentation and Instruction Manual of the Eddy-Covariance Software Package TK3 (update) (2011, methodology): “All corrections used in TK3 are in agreement with Foken et al. (2012c).”
Quantifying soybean evapotranspiration using an eddy covariance approach (2018, methodology): “The inability of EC measurements in balancing the energy inputs with the energy outputs from cropping systems, known as energy balance non-closure problem (EBC), continue to haunt this method, hindering its applications in irrigation water management (Foken et al., 2011; Foken, 2006; Gao et al., 201”
