Modelling and measurement of radiation interception by olive canopies
We present the formulation, calibration and validation of a model to estimate photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) intercepted by olive (Olea europaea L.) canopies. The model calculates the PAR transmittance at any point located within the four central trees of the orchard. The spatial and time integration of this process allows calculation of PAR transmitted to the ground and, thus, the P...
متن کاملModelling crop canopy and residue rainfall interception effects on soil hydrological components for semi-arid agriculture
Crop canopies and residues have been shown to intercept a significant amount of rainfall. However, rainfall or irrigation interception by crops and residues has often been overlooked in hydrologic modelling. Crop canopy interception is controlled by canopy density and rainfall intensity and duration. Crop residue interception is a function of crop residue type, residue density and cover, and ra...
متن کاملSolar Radiation Estimation from Rainfall and Temperature Data in Arid and Semi-arid Climates of Iran
Precipitation and air temperature data, only, are often recorded at meteorological stations, with radiation beingmeasured at very few weather stations, especially in developing countries. Therefore there arises a need for suitablemodels to estimate solar radiation for a completion of data sets. This paper is about an evaluation of eight models foran estimation of daily solar radiation (Q) from ...
متن کاملRainfall Interception by Sacramento's Urban Forest
A one-dimensional mass and energy balance model was developed to simulate rainfall interception in Sacramento County, California. The model describes tree interception processes: gross precipitation, leaf drip, stem flow, and evaporation. Kriging was used to extend existing meteorological point data over the region. Regional land use/ land cover and tree canopy cover were parameterized with dat...
متن کاملUse of the IHACRES rainfall-runoff model in arid and semi arid regions
Streamflow in arid and semi-arid regions tends to be dominated by rapid responses to intense rainfall events. Such events frequently have a high degree of spatial variability, coupled with poorly gauged rainfall data. This sets a fundamental limit on the capacity of any rainfall-runoff model to reproduce the observed flow. The IHACRES model is a parameterically efficient rainfall-runoff model t...
