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.

Estimating catchment evaporation and runoff using MODIS leaf area index and the Penman-Monteith equation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used remotely sensed leaf area indices from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) mounted on the polar-orbiting Terra satellite with the Penman-Monteith equation, gridded meteorology, and a two-parameter biophysical model for surface conductance (G s ) to estimate 8-day average evaporation at 1-km resolution.

Remote sensing: hydrology.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the current status of estimates of each of these variables, as well as river discharge, the direct estimation of which is not yet possible, and attempt to close the surface water budget from remote sensing al...

How vegetation reinforces soil on slopes

TL;DR: In this paper, the root morphology and biomechanics changes between species, and the optimal root system types for improving slope stability are suggested, along with an update on the use of models to predict the influence of vegetation on mechanical and hydrological properties of soil on slopes.

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.

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.
