Improvements to a MODIS global terrestrial evapotranspiration algorithm
TLDR
In this article, an improved version of the global evapotranspiration (ET) algorithm based on MODIS and global meteorology data has been proposed, which simplifies the calculation of vegetation cover fraction, calculating ET as the sum of daytime and nighttime components, adding soil heat flux calculation, improving estimates of stomatal conductance, aerodynamic resistance and boundary layer resistance, separating dry canopy surface from the wet and dividing soil surface into saturated wet surface and moist surface.About:

Satellite time series data reveal interannual and seasonal spatiotemporal evapotranspiration patterns in China in response to effect factors
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors evaluated the performance of MOD16 (the MODIS global ET product) data under different conditions, and then the MOD16 data were used to analyze the interannual and seasonal variability of ET and its spatial distribution characteristics in China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long time series of daily evapotranspiration in China based on the SEBAL model and multisource images and validation
TL;DR: Cheng et al. as mentioned in this paper used multisource images to generate a long-time-series (2001-2018) daily evapotranspiration (ET) product with a spatial resolution of 1.
Effects of Uncertainties in Hydrological Modelling. A Case Study of a Mountainous Catchment in Southern Norway
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the effect of uncertainty and poor observation quality on hydrological model calibration and predictions in the Osali catchment in Western Norway, where an elevation distributed HBV-model was used.

The ideal distribution of farmers: explaining the euro-american settlement of utah
TL;DR: This article used fine-grained and diachronic data to test model predictions pertaining to the relationship between population density and habitat quality, using data from the historical settlement of Utah, and found that the results support predictions derived from a general theory of behavior.

Overview of the radiometric and biophysical performance of the MODIS vegetation indices
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the performance and validity of the MODIS vegetation indices (VI), the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and enhanced vegetation index(EVI), produced at 1-km and 500-m resolutions and 16-day compositing periods.

C. H. B. Priestley,R. J. Taylor +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the large-scale parameterization of the surface fluxes of sensible and latent heat is properly expressed in terms of energetic considerations over land while formulas of the bulk aerodynamic type are most suitahle over the sea.
