New Heat Flux products from LSA SAF on EUMETCast soon

These new products, listed below, contribute to characterise the land-atmosphere interactions:

[LSA-304] - Sensible Heat Flux (MH): accounts for the flux of energy associated to the exchange of heat by convection at the Earth-atmosphere interface (soil + vegetation + water bodies).

[LSA-305] - Latent Heat Flux (MLE): accounts for the flux of energy associated to the exchange of water vapour at the Earth-atmosphere interface (soil + vegetation + water bodies). Latent heat flux is the heat flux associated to evapotranspiration.

They have an operational status.
