conductance for moisture

The product of bulk transfer coefficient ME for moisture and wind speed U.

This product acts like an electrical conductance because when used in a bulk transfer law, FE = CEMΔr, the flux (current) is proportional to the conductivity (CEM) times the potential difference (voltage).
Compare eddy conductivity, conductivity, bulk transfer coefficient.
