DESCRIPTION

       i.eb.soilheatflux calculates the soil heat  flux  approximation  (g0)  after  Bastiaanssen
       (1995).  The  main  reference for implementation is Alexandridis, 2009.  It takes input of
       Albedo, NDVI, Surface Skin temperature, Net  Radiation  (see  r.sun),  time  of  satellite
       overpass,  and  a  flag  for  the  Roerink  empirical  modification  from  the HAPEX-Sahel
       experiment.  The "time of satellite overpass" map can be obtained as follows:

           •   MODIS: a related sub dataset is included in  each  HDF  file,  and  simply  to  be
               imported as a raster map;

           •   Landsat: to be generated as map from the overpass time stored in the metadata file
               (given in Greenwich Mean Time - GMT), see below.
       For Landsat, the overpass map can be computed by using a two-step method:
       # 1) extract the overpass time in GMT from metadata file
       i.landsat.toar -p input=dummy output=dummy2 \
          metfile=LC81250452013338LGN00_MTL.txt lsatmet=time
       # ... in this example approx. 03:12am GMT
       # 2) create map for computational region of Landsat scene
       g.region rast=LC81250452013338LGN00_B4 -p
       r.mapcalc "overpasstime = 3.211328"
