L'évapotranspiration et les flux turbulents de chaleur sensible et latente sont d'abord évalués au niveau de la station micro-météorologique de référence. Un indice de l'humidité disponible dans le sol est ensuite calculé à partir du rapport du flux de chaleur latente et du bilan énergétique de surface. Cet indice est sensé être représentatif de toute la Belgique, le principal facteur gouvernant l'évapotranspiration étant, dans les climats tempérés, le rayonnement net modulé par la présence ou l'absence de nuages. 1, record 1, French, - indice%20de%20l%27humidit%C3%A9%20disponible

The relative moisture of the soil is expressed, for each depth, by the ratio 100 Ha/He, where Ha is the absolute moisture of the soil and He, the absolute moisture for a pF value of 2.7 (moisture equivalent). pF is the logarithm, to base 10, of the capillary potential. 3, record 2, English, - relative%20moisture%20of%20the%20soil

In general, since there exists a water shortage to crop requirement and possible water resources for watering crop, it is suggested to economically control soil relative moisture within 0.55-0.82 by irrigation, that is, supplies crop water by 50-90% of its water requirement. 2, record 2, English, - relative%20moisture%20of%20the%20soil
