Evaporation from an active, uncovered landfill

Bendz, David LU and Bengtsson, Lars LU (1996) In Journal of Hydrology 182(1-4). p.143-155
Abstract
The effect on evaporation of the presence of biodegradation heat in an uncovered biocell under operational conditions is elucidated. The contribution of the heat of biodegradation was investigated by measuring the temperature gradient in the top layer of a landfill. The evaporation was calculated by combining the energy budget with an expression for sensible heat flux, and taking the atmospheric stability into account by introducing the similarity theory of Monin and Obukhov. It was found that the biological heat enhanced the net energy flux and the actual evaporation by 20% and 10%, respectively.
