        abstract = {Surface Energy Balance (SEB) explains how solar energy received at the Earth’s surface is distributed into different components such as heating the air, evaporating water, and warming the soil. In theory, all incoming energy should be balanced by outgoing energy. However, many scientific studies show that this balance is not fully achieved in real measurements. This problem is known as surface energy balance closure. In India, agriculture is closely linked to climate, monsoon rainfall, and irrigation practices. Therefore, understanding SEB closure is important for accurate estimation of evapotranspiration, water management, and climate studies. This review discusses the concept of surface energy balance closure, the main reasons for non-closure, and its importance in Indian climate and agricultural research.},
