INTRODUCTION The ability to estimate short-term fluxes of water
vapor from a growing crop are necessary for validating estimates from high resolution remote sensing techniques, such as NASA’s Advanced Thermal and Land Applications Sensor (ATLAS).
On February 11th, 2004, the ATLAS was used to evaluate the Urban Heat Island Effect within the San Juan Metropolitan area.
To validate energy flux estimates from ATLAS, a ground study was conducted at the University of Puerto Rico Experiment Station in Rio Píedras (located within the metropolitan area).

Objectives To support modeling efforts related to the Urban
Heat Island problem. To obtain ground-based measurements and/or
estimates of energy fluxes to validate the ATLAS estimates.
The specific objective of this presentation is to present estimates of reference evapotranspiration during the ATLAS fly-over.

Reference Evapotranspiration
where ETo is the Latent heat flux or Reference EvapotranspirationΔ is the slope of the vapor pressure curve (kPa oC-1), Rn is net radiation (MJ m-2 d-1), G is the soil heat flux density (MJ m-2
d-1), g is the psychrometric constant (kPa-1), T is mean daily air temperature at 2 m height (oC), u2 is wind speed at 2-m height, es is the saturated vapor pressure (kPa-1) and ea is the actual vapor
pressure (kPa-1).

Penman-Monteith Equation
The equation applies specifically to a hypothetical reference crop with an assumed crop height of 0.12 m, a fixed surface resistance of 70 sec m-1 and an albedo of 0.23.

Future Work Related to ATLAS Latent and sensible heat fluxes will be
estimated by several methods for comparison with the ATLAS estimates.
The ATLAS ground surface temperature data are expected to be available in September 2004.
