Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Jordens klimat står under ständiga variationer och förändringar, och det är inte alltid lätt att sära på orsak och verkan bland den mängd av faktorer som styr klimatet. För att kunna reda ut ursprunget till de förändringar som sker, måste de bakomliggande processerna vara väl kända. Sedan är det möjligt att genom matematiska modeller uppskatta de individuella prSeveral studies have analysed the relationship between Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and radiative surface temperature. A main goal for most studies have been to find the best method for carrying out land cover classifications and to study land cover changes, based on a combination between the two parameters. Since atmospheric components have a significant influence on both paramet
Fluxes of sensible heat and latent heat were calculated above fields of barley and wheat in Ilstorp, using a gradient profile approach. Gradient Richardson’s number was used as the stability parameter, and it was shown that atmospheric stability varies both with time of the day and wind speed. Temperature and wind profiles were studied, and it was possible to detect a rise in the active surface in
