-c: Dry/Wet pixels coordinates are in image projection, not row/col
--overwrite: Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--verbose: Verbose module output
--quiet: Quiet module output

Parameters:

netradiation=name [required]: Name of instantaneous Net Radiation raster map [W/m2]
soilheatflux=name [required]: Name of instantaneous soil heat flux raster map [W/m2]
aerodynresistance=name [required]: Name of aerodynamic resistance to heat momentum raster map [s/m]
temperaturemeansealevel=name [required]: Name of altitude corrected surface temperature raster map [K]
frictionvelocitystar=float [required]: Value of the height independent friction velocity (u*) [m/s]; Default: 0.32407
vapourpressureactual=float [required]: Value of the actual vapour pressure (e_act) [KPa]; Default: 1.511
row_wet_pixel=float: Row value of the wet pixel
column_wet_pixel=float: Column value of the wet pixel
row_dry_pixel=float: Row value of the dry pixel
column_dry_pixel=float: Column value of the dry pixel
output=name [required]: Name for output sensible heat flux raster map [W/m2]

DESCRIPTION

i.eb.h_sebal01 will calculate the sensible heat flux map (h0), given both maps of Net Radiation and soil Heat flux (Rn, g0) at instantaneous time, the surface roughness (z0m), a map of the altitude corrected temperature (t0dem), a point data of the frictional velocity (u*), a value of actual vapour pressure (ea[KPa]) and the (x,y) pairs for wet and dry pixels. Full process will need those:

i.vi, i.albedo, i.latlong, i.emissivity
i.evapo.potrad
i.eb.netrad, i.eb.soilheatflux, i.eb.h_sebal01
i.eb.evapfr, i.eb.eta

(for time integration: i.evapo.time_integration)

i.eb.h_sebal01 performs the computation of sensible heat flux [W/m2] after Bastiaanssen, 1995 in [1], used in this form in 2001 by [2]. Implemented in this code in [3].

NOTES

z0m can be alculated by i.eb.z0m or i.eb.z0m0 (grass-addons).
ea can be calculated with standard meteorological data.
eoTmin=0.6108*EXP(17.27*Tmin/(Tmin+237.3))
eoTmax=0.6108*EXP(17.27*Tmax/(Tmax+237.3))
ea=(RH/100)/((eoTmin+eoTmax)/2)
t0dem = surface temperature + (altitude * 0.627 / 100)
