Full-Text: http://www.hydrol-earth-syst-sci.net/19/4653/2015/hess-19-4653-2015.pdf Summary: -------- The SPARSE model is coded in Matlab language; it computes the energy budget components for two sources (soil and vegetation) from surface (Leaf Area Index, vegetation height) and meterological forcing data.
