Journal ArticleDOI
The theoretical relationship between foliage temperature and canopy resistance in sparse crops
TL;DR: In this article, a sparse-crop interaction theory is reformulated to allow calculation of the canopy resistance from measurements of foliage temperature and a submodel is introduced to describe eddy diffusion within the canopy which provides a simple, empirical simulation of the reported behavior obtained from a second-order closure model.
Journal ArticleDOI
A resistance parameter for bare-soil evaporation models
TL;DR: In this paper, a bare-soil surface resistance parameter was used to improve the fit of a numerical model of heat and moisture flow in soils to 3 days of field measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating Soil Hydraulic Parameters Using Passive Microwave Data
TL;DR: In this article, a soil physics model is proposed to solve heat and moisture flux equations in the soil profile and is driven by the surface energy balance, and the model hydraulic parameters are varied until the predicted temperatures agree with the remotely sensed measurements.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Estimating water flow through a hillslope using the massively parallel processor
TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional model of water flow in a hillslope which has been implemented on the massively parallel processor is described, where flow in the soil both in the saturated and unsaturated zones, evaporation and overland flow are modeled, and rainfall rates are allowed to vary spatially.
Book ChapterDOI
A Two-Dimensional Model of the Hydrological Response of a Hillslope
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that during a heavy rain, infiltration excess reaches the stream first as overland flow and the rest reaches the unsaturated zone, which is referred to as saturated subsurface flow.
