Radiation calibration check 
 
The calibration factors for the soil heat flux plates and the 
radiometers were rechecked. 
 
The soil heat flux plate factors entered in the calibration 
table were in error. The factors entered in the logbook were 
correct. The corrections were made to the calibration table. 
 
The calibration factors for the radiometers was found to 
be correct.

Conversion factors for sensible and latent heat fluxes. 
 
Using the following values: 
                           rho = air density = 1 kg per m cubed 
                           Csubp = heat capacity = 1004.6 Joules per kg.degree 
                           LsubH2O = latent ht of water = 2.5 E6 Joules per kg 
 
For the sensible ht flux calculated in degrees centigrade . meters per second 
       multiple the given value X 1.01 E3 to obtain 
       energy flux in Watts per meter squared 
 
For the latent ht flux calculated in grams H2O per kilogram . meters per second  
       multiple the given value X 2.5 E3 to obtain 
       energy flux in Watts per meter squared

The two net radiometers appear to be better 
matched in the short wave than in the long 
wave.
