The Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) for estimation of turbulent heat fluxes
TL;DR: In this paper, a Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) is proposed for the estimation of atmospheric turbulent fluxes and evaporative fraction using satellite earth observation data, in combination with meteorological information at proper scales.

Climate change, phenology, and phenological control of vegetation feedbacks to the climate system
Andrew D. Richardson,Trevor F. Keenan,Mirco Migliavacca,Youngryel Ryu,Youngryel Ryu,Oliver Sonnentag,Oliver Sonnentag,Michael Toomey +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the environmental drivers of phenology, and the impacts of climate change on phenology in different biomes, and assess the potential impact on these feedbacks of shifts in phenology driven by climate change.

TL;DR: In the Southern Great Plains 1997 Hydrology Experiment, four different types of eddy-covariance systems were set up side-by-side and all of them under-measured sensible and latent heat fluxes by similar amounts.
