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:

Multi-model and multi-sensor estimations of evapotranspiration over the Volta Basin, West Africa
S. A. Andam-Akorful,S. A. Andam-Akorful,Vagner G. Ferreira,Joseph L. Awange,Ehsan Forootan,Xiufeng He +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate and combine different large-scale evapotranspiration (ET) estimates from moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS), Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) and terrestrial water budget (TWB) approaches over the Volta Basin, West Africa.

Combined uncertainty of hydrological model complexity and satellite-based forcing data evaluated in two data-scarce semi-arid catchments in Ethiopia
TL;DR: In this article, a joint analysis of modeling uncertainty due to different input data and increasing model complexity is provided, showing that the impact of mutually concealed uncertainties on model performance and model outputs are exemplified in two data sparse semi-arid catchments in Ethiopia.

Contrasting effects of urbanization and agriculture on surface temperature in eastern China
TL;DR: In this article, the combined effect of urbanization and agriculture on the surface climate remains poorly understood, and the authors showed that urbanization warmed the land surface temperature (LST), especially during the daytime and in growing seasons (maximized at 5.0°C in May), whereas agriculture (dominated by double-cropping system) cooled the LST in two growing seasons.

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.

On the Assessment of Surface Heat Flux and Evaporation Using Large-Scale Parameters
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.

Summarizing multiple aspects of model performance in a single diagram
TL;DR: In this article, a diagram has been devised that can provide a concise statistical summary of how well patterns match each other in terms of their correlation, their root-mean-square difference, and the ratio of their variances.
