TL;DR: In this paper, the energy balance of an irrigated suburban lawn in Vancouver, B.C. during fair summer weather was analyzed. And the results indicated that the evapotranspiration regime is assisted by advected energy from drier surfaces.
Abstract: The energy balance of an irrigated suburban lawn in Vancouver, B. C. during fair summer weather is presented. The results indicate that the evapotranspiration regime is assisted by advected energy from drier surfaces. Areal estimates of the suburban energy balance suggest that the latent heat flux from such irrigated surfaces is sufficient partially to compensate for the decrease in evapotranspiring areas by urbanization.
