The study of energy, water, and carbon exchanges between ecosystems the atmosphere is important in understanding role vegetation regional microclimates. However, they are still relatively scarce when it comes to Caatinga vegetation. This aims identify differences dynamics critical environmental variables such as net radiation (Rn), evapotranspiration (ET), fluxes (gross primary production, GPP)...

abstract evapotranspiration (et) is one of the most important components of the water balance, it is also one of the most difficult to measure. despite the importance of et, methods to obtain values of et are still limited. conventional methods are very local, ranging from point to field scale. estimates of the et over the entire area, especially for irrigated areas, are essential, as these can...

Abstract. Satellite observations of evapotranspiration (ET) have been widely used for water resources management in China. An accurate ET product with a high spatiotemporal resolution is required research on drought stress and management. However, such currently lacking. Moreover, the performances different estimation algorithms China not clearly studied, especially under environmental conditio...

The Yanqi basin is the main irrigated and active agroecosystem in semi-arid Xinjiang, northwestern China, which further seeks responses to profound local water-related drawbacks relation unceasing landscape desiccation scant precipitation. Yet, it comes as an astonishment that a few reported near-surface items water vapor fluxes so far required for resources decision support, particularly scarc...

Accurate estimation of surface energy fluxes from space at high spatial resolution has the potential to improve prediction of the impact of land-use changes on the local environment and to provide a means to assess local crop conditions. To achieve this goal, a combination of physically based surface flux models and high-quality remote-sensing data are needed. Data from the ASTER sensor are par...
