AB: The Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land (SEBAL) is being used worldwide for the estimation of latent heat fluxes from MODIS and Landsat images. Our study objective is to investigate how large aperture scintillometers can be best employed for the validation of SEBAL heat fluxes. In this study, Landsat and MODIS images of the Valles Caldera National Preserve (New Mexico, USA) and North-Eastern Ghana were selected to estimate sensible and latent heat fluxes using SEBAL. These fluxes will be compared against direct ground measurements of the heat fluxes using scintillometers for sensible heat flux and eddy covariance systems for sensible and latent heat fluxes.
