Modified Bowen-Ratio method*
 

according to Liu & Foken (2001)

* This methods based on a similar approach by Businger (1986), who used the Bowen ratio similarity (the ratio of the temperature and the humidity/concentration differences between two levels in the surface layer is proportional to the ratio of the sensible and latent heat / concentration flux) to determine the exchange coefficient for a deposition flux which can only be measured by a gradient approach.
