- How far can closure of the surface energy balance be achieved at larger temporal and spatial scales?
- How far does scalar similarity between temperature and humidity hold, with respect to site and weather conditions and dependent on the height above ground?
- How far might TIC, which are connected close to the surface with a non-measurable horizontal advection, be responsible for the energy balance non-closure in a heterogeneous landscape?
- Under which conditions may boundary-layer models be used in a heterogeneous landscape?
