abstract: Net radiation and evaporation are compared over two contrasting land surfaces, fallow bushland and bare soil, in Niger, West Africa. Data are presented for 6 days, before and after a large rainstorm (39 mm), which illustrate how evaporation from the bush vegetation changed little in comparison with the larger change in evaporation observed over the bare soil. Net radiation over the bush vegetation was 20 per cent greater than that over the dry bare soil, but only 12 per cent greater than that over wet bare soil. These differences are consistent with the expected difference in albedo and surface temperature of the two surfaces
