Abstract:Abstract. It is known from arid and semi-arid ecosystems that atmospheric water vapor is directly adsorbed by the soil matrix during the night. Soil water vapor adsorption was typically neglected and only recently got attention because of improvements in measurement techniques. One technique rarely explored is eddy covariance (EC). EC nighttime measurements are usually discarded, but soil water vapor adsorption may be detectable as downwards-directed EC latent heat (λE) flux measurements under dry conditions. … Show more
