Summary
This paper continues the application of a physically-based model, comprising a combination of a solar transmission section and a slope energy budget portion [2]. The changing energy budget components (net radiation, conduction, sensible, and latent heat fluxes) occurring at the various slope angles (0 and 90 degrees) and orientations (south-, west-, and north-facing) were systematically examined in the context of two contrasting environments along a latitudinal transect of the east coast of the Americas. As before, the response of the energy budget components were systematic and orderly on a latitudinal basis accompanied by a great diversity among the energy budgets of different slopes and orientations at any particular latitude.
Zusammenfassung
Diese Arbeit bringt eine Fortsetzung der Anwendung eines physikalisch begründeten Modells, das eine Kombination zwischen der Sonnenstrahlungsübermittlung und dem Energiebudget auf einem Hang umfasst [2]. Die sich ändernden Komponenten des Energiehaushalts (Strahlungsbilanz, Leitung, sensible und latente Wärmeströme) bei verschiedenen Hangneigungen (0 his 90 Grad) und verschiedenen Orientierungen (gegen Süden, Westen und Norden) werden fur zwei kontrastierende Umweltsformen entlang eines Breitenquerschnittes auf der Ostküste von Nordamerika untersucht. Die Auswirkungen der Komponenten des Energiehaushaltes zeigen sich in systematischer und geordneter Abhängigkeit von der geographischen Breite begleitet von grossen Verschiedenheiten zwischen den Energiebudgets an verschiedenen Hängen und bei verschiedenen Orientierungen in einer bestimmten geographischen Breite.
