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 2, French, - indice%20de%20l%27humidit%C3%A9%20disponible
