Characteristic variation of ground heat flux and net radiation enhances the understanding of the significance of indicated trends of variability to everyday life and factors that might be responsible for such variations. This research work critically analyses some specific days with field data over grass-covered surface at Ile-Ife, Nigeria between ground heat flux and net radiation. For the field observations, an instrumented meteorological mast was set up at an experimental site (7°33 ’ N, 4°35 ’ E) located at Obafemi Awolowo University campus, Ile-Ife, Nigeria for a period of two weeks (31 May-14 June, 2013). The soil heat flux, net radiation and soil temperature from the soil heat flux plate; an all-wave net radiometer, and soil thermometer were recorded every 10 seconds and averaged over 2 minutes interval. The sampled data was stored in the data logger (Campbell Scientific, Model CR10X) storage module. After the removal of spurious measurement values (Quality Assurance and Quality Control), the data stored was further reduced to 30 minutes Original Research Article Usman et al.; AJR2P, 3(4): 35-42, 2020; Article no.AJR2P.62814 36 averages using the Microcal Origin (version 7.0) data analysis software. The results showed that the measured ground heat flux, HGM during the daytime increases until 1400 hrs with maximum value of about 136.86 Wm -2 and minimum value of about -72.87 Wm -2 at 0830 hrs (DOY 156). The measured net radiation, Rn value of 649.65 Wm -2 observed at 1400 hrs (DOY 156), represented the maximum value for the entire period of the study. -10.75 Wm -2 value observed at1800 hrs (DOY 154), represented the minimum value for the entire period of the study due to the cloudy condition of the sky which reduces the amount of incoming solar radiation reaching the earth surface.
