The Problem
The net radiation is always larger than the sum of the turbulent fluxes (sensible and latent) and the ground heat flux:

Wavelet cross‐scalogramfor the sensible heat flux (above) and the latent heat flux (below). The data were measured with a Campbell CSAT3 and a LI‐COR LI‐7500 over the corn field near Lindenberg at 2.45 m above the zero‐plane displacement height.

Recent Findings
Problems of measuring devices can be excludedThe energy storage in plants and soil is low and can be
determinedAdvection is possible reason but complicated to measureIn large-scale homogeneous areas the energy can be closedSecondary circulations can be a reason of the problem (area
averaging measuring techniques measures higher fluxes)Long-term averages can close the energy balanceEnergy balance closure is not related to footprint categories

Schematic Overview of the Generation of Secondary Circulations and the Energy Balance Closure
Atmospheric Transport and Chemistry in Forest Ecosystems, Castle of Thurnau, Germany, Oct 5 - 8, 2009
Conclusion Energy Balance Closure
A heterogeneous landscape with typical heterogeneity scales of >> 100 m is a reason for secondary circulations and therefore an unclosed energy balance.For a landscape, which is homogeneous in scales >> 100 m, the energy balance can be closed. Only for this case experiments and models have equal results. The energy balance closure cannot be simply transferred to trace gas fluxes.
