DESCRIPTION

i.eb.soilheatflux calculates the soil heat flux approximation (g0) after Bastiaanssen (1995). The main reference for implementation is Alexandridis, 2009. It takes input of Albedo, NDVI, Surface Skin temperature, Net Radiation (see r.sun), time of satellite overpass, and a flag for the Roerink empirical modification from the HAPEX-Sahel experiment. The "time of satellite overpass" map can be obtained as follows: For Landsat, the overpass map can be computed by using a two-step method:
# 1) extract the overpass time in GMT from metadata file

i.landsat.toar -p input=dummy output=dummy2 \
   metfile=LC81250452013338LGN00_MTL.txt lsatmet=time
# ... in this example approx. 03:12am GMT

# 2) create map for computational region of Landsat scene
g.region rast=LC81250452013338LGN00_B4 -p
r.mapcalc "overpasstime = 3.211328"
