Averaged diurnal variations of net radiation flux (), latent heat flux (LE), sensible heat flux (), and soil heat flux () in the following periods: (a) the soil-frozen period (DOY 326–64); (b) the soil ablation period (DOY 65–130); (c) the germination, flowering, and leaf expansion period (DOY 131–169); (d) the vibrant growing season (DOY 170–253); (e) the leaf senescence period (DOY 254–288); and (f) the early soil-frozen period (DOY 289–322).
