= boundary layer resistance to water vapor transfer, empirically determined for each cuvette by
the pseudo-leaf (filter paper) method. 0.93 converts it to that for heat transfer.
is calculated from the photon flux incident on the cuvette (
), taking into account the ratio of infra-red to
visible radiation and typical reflection/absorption factors by the leaf:
= 0.14 the ratio of infrared to visible radiation, and converting photon flux to energy units
To simply computation, the following approximation is made:
Then, the leaf temperature is:
