Fig 2. Seasonal courses of mean daily values of aerodynamic conductance to heat transfer (Gah), surface conductance to water vapor (Gsw), and decoupling coefficient (Ω) for the year 2012.
Data were filtered for rainfree periods (24h after rainfall excluded), daylight (PPFD > 200 μmol m−2 s−1), and positive λE. Gsw was calculated according to Eq 15, and Ω according to Eq 16. Three different Gah formulations (Eqs 2 and 4–7), denoted by different colors, were used as input variables for the respective functions.
