Abstract

We investigated the seasonal patterns of water vapor and sensible heat flux along a tropical biome gradient from forest to savanna. We analyzed data from a network of flux towers in Brazil that were operated within the Large‐Scale Biosphere‐Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA). These tower sites ...
