How to Calculate Bowen's Ratio?
Bowen's Ratio calculator uses Bowen’s Ratio = Sensible Heat Transfer from Water Body/(Water Density*Latent Heat of Evaporation*Daily Lake Evaporation) to calculate the Bowen’s Ratio, The Bowen's Ratio formula is defined as the ratio of sensible to latent heat fluxes at the surface obtained based on thermodynamic considerations. Bowen’s Ratio is denoted by β symbol.
