Abstract
The unnoticed (up to now) appreciable component of the land surface he at balance equation is revealed and analyzed in this paper. This compo nent describes the direct heat exchange between the atmosphere and the air in the porous soil. The physical mechanism which causes this exch ange is described. The missing component of the heat balance equation is discussed in application to the desert surface heat balance.
