Surface Temperature and Surface-Layer Turbulence in a Convective Boundary Layer

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined land-atmosphere coupled heat transport mechanism for different stability conditions and found that the surface-temperature coherent structures move at an advection speed similar to the upper surface-layer or mixed-layer wind speed, with a decreasing trend with increase in stability.

Assessing regional evapotranspiration and water balance across a Mediterranean montane climate gradient

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate a new approach to estimate regional evapotranspiration (ET) across a montane, Mediterranean climate gradient in the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains of Southern California.

Intercomparison of Evapotranspiration Over the Savannah Volta Basin in West Africa Using Remote Sensing Data

TL;DR: This paper compares evapotranspiration estimates from two complementary satellite sensors – NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and ESA's ENVISAT Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) over the savannah area of the Volta basin in West Africa to show that both sensors are potentially good sources of evapotspiration estimates over large heterogeneous landscapes.

Remote sensing of global daily evapotranspiration based on a surface energy balance method and reanalysis data

TL;DR: In this paper, a column canopy-air turbulent heat diffusion method was developed to more realistically depict dynamic changes in aerodynamic resistance, and a global evapotranspiration (ET) product covering the period 2003-2017 was produced using the EB model.

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

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.

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.

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.
