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:

A continuous satellite-derived global record of land surface evapotranspiration from 1983 to 2006
TL;DR: In this article, a satellite remote sensing-based evapotranspiration (ET) algorithm was applied to assess global terrestrial ET from 1983 to 2006 using a modified Penman-Monteith approach with biome-specific canopy conductance determined from the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and quantifying open water evaporation using a Priestley-Taylor approach.

Climate change, water and food security.
H. Turral,J. Burke,J.-M. Faures +2 more
TL;DR: The impacts of climate change on the global hydrological cycle are expected to vary the patterns of demand and supply of water for agriculture -the dominant use of freshwater as discussed by the authors, and the implications for local and national food security.

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.

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.
