Use of reference site measurements and remote sensing data to estimate evapotranspiration over the Khan catchment ( Ivory Coast )

چکیده
-Evapotranspiration experts often need to make decisions relating to the precision of the results of various existing methods such as traditional and satellite methods. For these reasons a decision support system (EVA) is developed in order to provide evapotranspiration experts with a tool for evaluating the results of a variety of existing methods for estimating potential and real evapotranspiration by using in situ data and remote sensing data. The EVA provides a variety of models that can be used either in combination or as stand-alone tools to generate information for agricultural planning and management. The paper focuses on the concepts of the EVA software. A case study also will be presented.

Estimation of Sugar Cane Evapotranspiration using SEBAL and SEBS Algorithms and Priestly-Taylor Method (Case Study of Amir Kabir Cultivation and Industry)
Agricultural water management studies require accurate information on actual evapotranspiration. This information must have sufficient spatial detail to allow analysis on the farm or basin level. The methods used to estimate evapotranspiration are grouped into two main groups, which include direct methods and indirect or computational methods. Basics of the indirect methods are based on the rel...

The study presents the result of a new attempt for benthic biotopes remote sensing in the southern coast of the Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf. This survey site covers approximately 233 km2 in water depth between five and 25 m. Bathymetric data was derived from the single beam survey and grab stations, underwater video and photos were undertaken as ground-trusthing. The acoustic results showe...
متن کاملEvapotranspiration Estimate over an Almond Orchard Using Landsat Satellite Observations
California growers face challenges with water shortages and there is a strong need to use the least amount of water while optimizing yield. Timely information on evapotranspiration (ET), a dominant component of crop consumptive water use, is critical for growers to tailor irrigation management based on in-field spatial variability and in-season variations. We evaluated the performance of a remo...

Abstract Decadal changes in land use/land cover for Balachaur watershed in Nawanshahar district, Punjab, India were studied using black and white aerial photographs for March 1984 on approximately 1:20,000 scale and multidate geocoded false colour composites (FCC) of IRS-1D LISS-III on 1:50,000 scale for March 2002, September 2002, and May 2003 and interpreted visually to prepare land use/land...
متن کاملEstimation of Actual Evapotranspiration, Water productivity, and Irrigation Efficiency of Wheat Fields in Surface and Sprinkler Irrigation Systems Using Remote Sensing
In arid and semi-arid regions, water resource management and optimization of applying irrigation water are particularly important. For optimization of applying irrigation water, the estimated values of actual evapotranspiration are necessary for avoiding excessive or inadequate applying water. The estimation of actual crop evapotranspiration is not possible in large areas using the traditional ...
