Abstract;We have developed a model of radiation balance near ground level for application to satellite data. To apply the model to data, we measured air temperature, surface temperature, humidity and wind velocity every hour for 24 hours on concrete, asphalt, soil, grass and trees. In addition to these temporal measurements, we installed a station on the rooftop of Nara Women's University for measurements of air temperature, surface temperature and humidity using a logger. We applied the model to ground measurement data. The model works well for concrete, asphalt, soil and grass. (author abst.)
