Land surface albedo, the fraction of incoming solar radiation reflected by the land surface, is a key component of the Earth system. This study evaluates snow-free surface albedo simulations by the Community Atmosphere Biosphere Land Exchange (CABLEv1.4b) model with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Satellite Pour L’Observation de la Terre (SPOT) albedo. We compa...

as irrigation system installation is expensive and time consuming, it would be better to have an estimate of the water content provided by the system in the active root zone before designing an irrigation system. in this study, hydrus-2d performance was assessed under a tape irrigating in-situ with a heavy textured and relatively heterogeneous soil in rasht region. three different flows i.e. 2....

The high importance of indoor environment performance aspects such as surface condensation, mold growth, thermal comfort, etc., is widely recognized. High-resolution simulation of heat, air and moisture (HAM) transfer can be used to enhance the prediction and analysis of these aspects. For this purpose, a coupling mechanism has been developed in order to perform run-time external coupling betwe...

Soil moisture is an important hydrologic state variable critical to successful hydroclimatic and environmental predictions. Soil moisture varies both in space and time because of spatio-temporal variations in precipitation, soil properties, topographic features, and vegetation characteristics. In recent years, airand space-borne remote sensing campaigns have successfully demonstrated the use of...

Many industrial processes are in cascade configuration in which the material being processed goes through a sequence of processing units. In many cases, direct in-process measurements of the relevant variable are not available at all but at the last processing unit. Surrogate or model based soft measurements in which the relevant inprocess variables are inferred from other measurements would be...
