Examination of evaporative fraction diurnal behaviour using a soil-vegetation model coupled with a mixed-layer model

In many experimental conditions, the evaporative fraction, defined as the ratio between evaporation and available energy, has been found stable during daylight hours. This constancy is investigated over fully covering vegetation by means of a land surface scheme coupled with a mixed-layer model, whi...
