J. aEddy correlation measurements of energy partition for Amazonian forest. c1984 aMeasurements of energy partition for Amazonian forest made with novel eddy correlation equipment are presented for eight dry days in September 1983. These are interpreted to provide estimates of the aerodynamic and surface resistance for this vegetation type. Daily total evaporation for a transpiring canopy accounts for 70% of the available radiant energy, and is two thirds of conventional estimates of potential evaporation. The results are used to provide an initial calibration of a simple, physically based model of daily evaporation for Amazonian rain forest. aFloresta Amazônica1 aGASH, J. H. C.1 aLLOYD, C.
