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:

Using uncertainty of Penman and Penman–Monteith methods in combined satellite and ground-based evapotranspiration estimates
TL;DR: In this article, a dataset of correlated random variables is generated for a country with a diverse climate and diverse density of ground observations: New Zealand, and the uncertainty analysis shows that ET 0 is most sensitive to temperature, followed by solar radiation, relative humidity, and cloudiness ratio.

Canopy-structure effects on surface roughness parameters: Observations in a Great Lakes mixed-deciduous forest
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use 11 years of above-canopy wind speed measurements from spatially and temporally heterogeneous forest environments to disentangle the effects of different features of changing canopy structure on surface roughness parameters: displacement height (d), roughness length (z0), and the aerodynamic canopy height (ha).

Landscape heterogeneity and hydrological processes: a review of landscape-based hydrological models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a framework for synthesizing and moving forward on the interaction between landscape heterogeneity and hydrological processes, and propose a framework to simplify complexity to a few quantifiable metrics.

Improving Predictions of Water and Heat Fluxes by Assimilating MODIS Land Surface Temperature Products into the Common Land Model
TL;DR: In this article, four data assimilation scheme combinations derived from two strategies and two optimization algorithms [the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) and the shuffled complex evolution method developed at The University of Arizona (SCE-UA)] are developed based on the Common Land Model (CLM) to improve predictions of water and heat fluxes.

Uncertainty analysis of the Operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop) model at multiple flux tower sites
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on uncertainty analysis of the operational simplified surface energy balance (SSEBop) model for ET estimation at multiple AmeriFlux tower sites with diverse land cover characteristics and climatic conditions.

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.

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.
