Application of the Flux-Variance Technique for Evapotranspiration Estimates in Three Types of Agricultural Structures by Ori Ahiman, Yonatan Mekhmandarov, Moran Pirkner, Josef Tanny

“…Measurements were carried out in three types of agricultural structures: (i) a banana plantation in a light-shading (8%) screenhouse (S1), (ii) a pepper crop in an insect-proof (50-mesh) screenhouse (S2), and (iii) a tomato crop in a naturally ventilated greenhouse with a plastic roof and 50-mesh screened sidewalls (S3). Quality control analysis of the EC data showed that turbulence development and flow stationarity conditions in the three structures were suitable for flux measurements. …”
