The sensible and latent heat fluxes, net radiation and lagoonheating from a waste lagoon located in South Central Kentucky areestimated for five days in February 2009 using the Bowen Ratioenergy balance (BREB) method. Relationships between thesefluxes, meteorological variables and greenhouse gas (GHG)emissions from the waste lagoon were also estimated. The GHGdata collections days are characterized by mostly clear conditions.Because the raw data fluctuated greatly, a 15 minute movingaverage was utilized to smooth the data. The energy fluxes showeda definitive diurnal pattern expected of such fluxes. It is found thatlatent and sensible heat flux and temperatures could be a goodpredictor of GHG emissions.
