The Bowen ratio is a property of a surface, specifically the ratio between two types of heat transfer (sensible heat and latent heat). The wetter the surface, the lower the ratio.[1]
Notes
- The DPRA Heat stress report uses only two possible values for the Bowen ratio: 0.4 and 3.0.
- Terrains such as grassland and functions such as trees and vegetation generally have a ratio of 0.4. Other terrains and functions have a ratio of 3.0.
- Water is special in the sense that during the day the ratio is 0.4 and at night the ratio is 3.0. These values are based on the DPRA Heat stress report and cannot be modified.
