Abstract

Eddy correlation observation of sensible, latent heat and carbon dioxide fluxes above a tropical rain forest were conducted in March 1995 in Peninsular Malaysia. The calculated total energy flux consisted of both sensible and latent heats ranged from 50% to 80% of the available energy. Under the low wind speed conditions, the sensible and latent heats were intermittently transported upward according to the plume events. Sum of the sensible and latent heat fluxes generally ranged from 1000 to 2000Wm-2 during individual plume events, though the time averaged flux was apparently insufficient. It was suggested that the occurrence of large plume events could be spatially localized.
