چکیده
data/water/regionalet.asp) are a) the ET rates of the winter months (December, January, February) are included in the current annual maps; b) the method became largely automated and thus its application made simpler. The modeling period could have been extended to include 2010, however, the project (GCIP-SRB, http://metosrv2.umd.edu/~srb/gcip/cgibin/historic.cgi) that provided the monthly incoming global radiation values did not get funded recently, thus no radiation data is available after June 2010 from that source. Rather than looking for alternative data sources, the original 10-year long modeling period, i.e., 2000-2009, was kept, thus ensuring that the same data types were employed throughout the study. ping (CREMAP), by the present author. Major differences between the current study and its earlier version (available from http://snr.unl.edu/

Mapping mean annual groundwater recharge in the Nebraska Sand Hills, USA
Mean annual recharge in the Sand Hills of Nebraska (USA) over the 2000–2009 period was estimated at a 1-km spatial resolution as the difference of mean annual precipitation (P) and evapotranspiration (ET). Monthly P values came from the PRISM dataset, while monthly ET values were derived from linear transformations of the MODIS daytime land-surface temperature values into pixel ET rates with th...

Monthly evapotranspiration (ET) rates (2000 to 2009) across Nebraska at about 1-km resolution were obtained by linear transformations of the MODIS (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) daytime surface temperature values with the help of the Priestley-Taylor equation and the complementary relationship of evaporation. For positive values of the mean annual precipitation and ET differenc...

Spatially distributed monthly evapotranspiration (ET) rates over the 2000–2009 period were specified for the three states [Colorado (CO), Kansas (KS), Nebraska (NE)] sharing the Republican River basin with the help of a calibration-free ETestimation method using Moderate Resolution (of about one km) Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data. Mean annual ET rate is 444 mm [i.e., 103% of the mean an...

Under simplifying conditions catchment-scale vapor pressure at the drying land surface can be calculated as a function of its watershed-representative temperature () by the wet-surface equation (WSE, similar to the wet-bulb equation in meteorology for calculating the dry-bulb thermometer vapor pressure) of the Complementary Relationship of evaporation. The corresponding watershed ET rate, <...
متن کاملRegional estimation of total recharge to ground water in Nebraska.
Naturally occurring long-term mean annual recharge to ground water in Nebraska was estimated by a novel water-balance approach. This approach uses geographic information systems (GIS) layers of land cover, elevation of land and ground water surfaces, base recharge, and the recharge potential in combination with monthly climatic data. Long-term mean recharge > 140 mm per year was estimated in ea...
