Observations from spaceborne radar contain considerable information about vegetation
dynamics. The ability to extract this information could lead to improved soil moisture …

Abstract Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) observations, valued for their consistent acquisition
schedule and not being affected by cloud cover and variations between day and night, have …

We analyzed the seasonal variations of energy balance components over three different
surfaces: irrigated cropland (Yingke, YK), alpine meadow (A'rou, AR), and spruce forest …

This paper presents the model SCOPE (Soil Canopy Observation, Photochemistry and
Energy fluxes), which is a vertical (1-D) integrated radiative transfer and energy balance …

An overview is given of 50-year Cabauw observations and research on the structure and
dynamics of the atmospheric boundary layer. It is shown that over time this research site with …

An accurate simulation of the sensible heat flux (H) over vegetation from thermal remote
sensing requires an a priori estimate of roughness length and the excess resistance …

Parameterization methods which calculate turbulent heat and water fluxes with thermal
remote sensing data were evaluated in the revised remote sensing surface energy balance …

Accurate quantification of crop water use or evapotranspiration (ET) is crucial in agriculture
for improved irrigation scheduling and water resource planning across a wide range of …

The imbalance in the surface energy budget, when using eddy-covariance techniques to
measure turbulent fluxes, is still an unresolved problem. Important progresses have been …

Abstract In this study, Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land (SEBAL) was evaluated
for its ability to derive aerodynamic components and surface energy fluxes from very high …
