The surface energy balance is the resultant of radiative components such as incoming and outgoing short-wave and long-wave radiation, and also non-radiative components such as sensible heating, latent heating, and the change in energy storage in water or substrate on land.
Sensible heat flux = direct heating, a function of surface and air temperature.
Positive values for sensible and latent heat flux represent energy moving towards the atmosphere, negative values represent energy moving away from the atmosphere.

  Heat Fluxes & the Energy Balance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Thus, a positive sensible heat flux indicates the dominant flow of energy between the air and the surface is away from the surface and towards the air.
If sensible heat flux is negative, the dominant direction of energy flow is from the air to the surface; this means that the air is loosing energy and the surface of the earth is gaining energy.
If sensible heat flux is positive, the dominant direction of energy flow is from the earth's surface to the air; this means the air is gaining energy and the surface of the earth is loosing energy.

 Sensible heat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Sensible heat is heat energy that is transported by a body that has a temperature higher than its surroundings via conduction, convection, or both.
In the atmosphere, large-scale transport of heat from the tropics to the poles is affected by both
sensible and latent heat, the first of which is the poleward motion of warm air and equatorward motion of cold air, primarily driven by the cyclonic mixing taking place in the Ferrel cell in the midlatitudes, the latter of which is associated with the phase changes of atmospheric water vapor, mostly vaporization and condensation.

 Sensible Heat and Latent Heat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
SENSIBLE HEAT is the heat absorbed or given off by a substance that is NOT in the process of changing its physical state.
Sensible heat can be sensed, or measured, with a thermometer, and the addition or removal of sensible heat will always cause a change in the temperature of the substance.
In other words, sensible heat is the heat that affects the temperature of things; latent heat is the heat that affects the physical state of things.

 Arrangement for recovering the sensible heat of dumpable hot stock - Patent 4615677
The coolant, preferably water, which initially is heated while flowing through the cooling zone 10 of the lower run 8, subsequently flows through the cooling zone 9 of the carrier run 7 and is guided in a thermodynamic circulation.
The storage plates 18 heated by the hot stock, are thus cooled by sliding contact with the cooling plates 12, which preferably are made of cast iron.
Heating of the storage plates depends on the ratio of the thickness of the storage plates to the thickness of the material layer applied thereon.

 Air Psychrometrics
The enthalpy of moist and humid air consist of sensible heat and latent heat.
Latent heat is the heat that when supplied to, or removed from air, there is a change in the moisture content of the air, but the temperature of the air is not changed
Sensible heat is dry heat causing change in temperature but not in the moisture content

 Physical State/Latent Heat
Latent heat is absorbed upon evaporation, and released upon condensation to liquid (as in clouds).
If the water is at a temperature of 100 degrees C (that is, the boiling point, or 212 degrees F) it takes an additional 540 calories of heat to convert one gram of water from the liquid state to the vapor state.
If the water is liquid at a temperature of 0 degrees C, the latent heat of vaporization is 597 cal/g, compared to 540 cal/g at 100 degrees C. In between, at 50 degrees C, an input of 569 cal/g would be required for evaporation.

Latent heat is not really heat you can feel, but energy required to break the molecular bonds that keep molecules in a single phase.
Latent heat is absorbed from the surroundings to melt ice and evaporate water.
Sensible heat is a flow of heat which does cause a change in temperature, and thus can be sensed by humans.

 Sensible Heat Flux Estimates   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
There are several quantities output by Cupid which describe the sensible heat flux from the plant-soil-atmosphere system.
Sensible heat flux is always positive when heat is being tranported upwards (as opposed to soil heat conduction, where heat flux down into the soil is positive).
This is the sensible heat flux from the soil into the canopy.

 [No title]
The large heat fluxes necessary to generate and maintain a hurricane are not sufficiently described by simple bulk transfer of sensible and latent heat at the ocean-atmosphere interface.
The large heat fluxes that seem necessary to sustain hurricanes and other strong cyclonic storms are not accounted for by simple interfacial fluxes of sensible and latent heat.
To determine the amount of latent heat transported by bubbles across the air-sea interface, Andreas and Monahan adopt terms from Pruppacher and Klett (1978) and Andreas (1989) describing the vapor pressure at the interior surface of a bubble submerged in seawater.

The amount of heat energy in BTU's that must be removed to change the state of one pound of a vapor to one pound of liquid at the same temperature.
As compared to the amount of air infiltration and increased rate of sensible heat load during an hour, —four (4) conditioned space air changes per hour compared to six or 8 changes per hour also makes a big difference in the amount of latent and sensible cooling a system will produce.
Considering the restriction between the large oil burner heat exchanger and the bottom of the evaporator coil and supplies and returns at floor levels, —a study of the blower graph indicates these figures may be relevant.

Surface sensible heat flux (Qh) is strongly conditioned by surface temperature.
One part of my research is looking at how well urban surface heat flux can be modelled and how remotely-observed surface temperature can best be used in estimating Qh.
Modelling of the sensible heat flux incorporates the source area concept (see Schmid, 1994) which estimates the area most likely contributing to the heat flux measurement.
