Abstract
The Lhomme’s model (1988a), that extended Penmann's formulae to a multi-layer model, is redefined as a function of micrometeorological and physiological profiles of crop canopy. The sources and sinks of sensible and latent heat fluxes are assumed to lie on a fictitious plane called zero-displacement plane. Algorithms are given to compute sensible and latent heat flux densities. Performance of the algorithms is compared with that of earlier algorithms.
