A remote sensing surface energy balance algorithm for land (SEBAL)-1. Formulation
TLDR
The Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land (SEBAL) as mentioned in this paper estimates the spatial variation of most essential hydro-meteorological parameters empirically, and requires only field information on short wave atmospheric transmittance, surface temperature and vegetation height.About:

Monitoring of irrigation schemes by remote sensing: Phenology versus retrieval of biophysical variables
Nadia Akdim,Silvia Maria Alfieri,Adnane Habib,Abdeloihab Choukri,Elijah K. Cheruiyot,Kamal Labbassi,Massimo Menenti +6 more
TL;DR: The assessment of irrigation performance in terms of adequacy between water requirements and allocations showed that CWR were much larger than allocated surface water for the entire area, with this difference being small at the beginning of the growing season.

Urban evapotranspiration of green spaces in arid regions through two established approaches: a review of key drivers, advancements, limitations, and potential opportunities
TL;DR: In this paper, the estimation of urban ET is difficult because of high spatial variability of urban surfaces, and the authors propose a method to estimate the urban ET in urban areas based on the urban surface geometry.
Satellite-based evapotranspiration by metric and landsat for western states water management
TL;DR: The METRIC TM (Mapping Evapotranspiration at high resolution and with Internalized Calibration) as discussed by the authors is an image-processing model comprised of multiple submodels for calculating evapOTranspiration (ET) as a residual of the surface energy balance.
Surface fluxes over natural landscapes using scintillometry
TL;DR: In this article, a large aperture scintillometer (LAS) has been developed that can be used over distances up to 5 km, and the authors investigated the performance of the LAS over heterogeneous land surfaces.

Multispectral remotely sensed data in modelling the annual variability of nitrate concentrations in the leachate
Carsten Montzka,Morton J. Canty,Peter Kreins,Ralf Kunkel,Gunter Menz,Harry Vereecken,Frank Wendland +6 more
TL;DR: It has been shown that the identification of main crops and annual crop rotation in the Rur catchment by SPOT, LANDSAT and ASTER imagery provides the key for a spatial and thematic enhancement of the model results.

The Interpretation of the Variations in Leaf Water Potential and Stomatal Conductance Found in Canopies in the Field
TL;DR: In this paper, the stomatal conductance of illuminated leaves is a function of current levels of temperature, vapour pressure deficit, leaf water potential (really turgor pressure) and ambient CO $_2$ concentration and when plotted against any one of these variables a scatter diagram results.

A Revised Land Surface Parameterization (SiB2) for Atmospheric GCMS. Part I: Model Formulation
Piers J. Sellers,David A. Randall,G. J. Collatz,Joseph A. Berry,Christopher B. Field,D. A. Dazlich,Changan Zhang,G.D. Collelo,Lahouari Bounoua +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a revised version of the Simple Biosphere model (SiB2) is presented, incorporating a realistic canopy photosynthesis-conductance model to describe the simultaneous transfer of CO2 and water vapor into and out of the vegetation, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flux Parameterization over Land Surfaces for Atmospheric Models
TL;DR: In this article, a summary of observations and modeling efforts on surface fluxes, carried out at Cabauw in The Netherlands and during MESOGERS-84 in the south of France, is given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Footprint prediction of scalar fluxes from analytical solutions of the diffusion equation
TL;DR: The use of analytical solutions of the diffusion equation for "footprint prediction" is explored in this paper, where the upwind area most likely to affect a downwind flux measurement at a given height is compared.

Wheat canopy temperature: A practical tool for evaluating water requirements
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a sliding cubic smoothing technique to calculate daily water contents and thus water depletion rates for the entire growing season and used this to predict water use by wheat in six differentially irrigated plots.
