Figure 7.2 The 'big leaf' approach: vegetation replaced by one leaf, with one stoma-
tal cavity. Water vapour transport experiences an extra resistance, r c (canopy resis-
tance). Note that the aerodynamic resistances are those for scalar transport, not for
momentum.
Now the derivation of the Penman equation can be revisited to include the extra resis-
tance. Equation ( 7.9 ) becomes:

Finally, in combination with the energy balance equation, this gives the Penman-
