The combination of a near-infrared and a microwave scintillometer were used to estimate the line-averaged, latent heat flux density (λEs) from a well-irrigated, vineyard valley during summer. The 2 km scintillometer beam passed over the valley floor at a height (z) of 30 m. Eddy covariance towers instrumented at 3 ill above the valley surface provided an independent check of vineyard evaporation. A formula for free convective λEe compared favourably to the eddy covariance values, λEe at low wind speeds and under clear skies. As the convective boundary layer (CBL) developed and passed through the scintillometer beam it caused additional scintilla- tions, in which case λEe ＞＞ λEe. During unstable conditions the comparisons were in close agreement. However λEs tended to overestimate λEe as the wind speed increased. For near-neutral conditions the scintillometer gave unrealistically large values of λE s. The additional scintillations originated from the strong entrainment of advected dry and warm air into the newly formed surface boundary layer.
During calm overcast days, cold days and during the early morning periods when the surface fluxes were small, the signal strength of the infrared scintillometer approached the system noise.
