Remotely Sensed Evapotranspiration Data Assimilation for Crop Growth Modeling

The agricultural sector will require more water in the near future to provide more food, fibre and fuels (Molden et al., 2007). As population increases and development calls for increased demand of food, a change in diet due to increased prosperity, and a recent focus on biofuels. This population growth coupled with industrialization and urbanization will result in an increasing demand for wate...

Using remotely sensed solar radiation data for reference evapotranspiration estimation at a daily time step

16 Solar radiation is an important climatic variable for assessing reference evapotranspiration 17 (E0), but it is seldom available in weather station records. Meteosat satellite images processed 18 with the Heliosat-2 method provide the HelioClim-1 database, which displays spatialized 19 solar radiation data at a daily time step for Europe and Africa. The aim of the present work 20 was to inve...

Estimating Daily Global Evapotranspiration Using Penman-Monteith Equation and Remotely Sensed Land Surface Temperature

Daily evapotranspiration (ET) is modeled globally for the period 2000–2013 based on the Penman–Monteith equation with radiation and vapor pressures derived using remotely sensed Land Surface Temperature (LST) from the MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua and Terra satellites. The ET for a given land area is based on four surface conditions: wet/dry and vegetated/non...
