An overview of the commonly applied evapotranspiration (ET) models using remotely
sensed data is given to provide insight into the estimation of ET on a regional scale from …

Imagery from remote sensing systems, often combined with ancillary ground information, is
able to provide repetitive, synoptic views of key parameters characterizing land surface …

A comprehensive evaluation of energy balance closure is performed across 22 sites and 50
site-years in FLUXNET, a network of eddy covariance sites measuring long-term carbon and …

A two-layer model of turbulent exchange that includes the view geometry associated with
directional radiometric surface temperature is developed and evaluated by comparison of …

The crop water stress index (CWSI), developed at the USDA-ARS US Water Conservation
Laboratory, Phoenix, Arizona, is a commonly used index for detection of plant stress based …

Independent measurements of the major energy balance flux components are not often
consistent with the principle of conservation of energy. This is referred to as a lack of closure …

We present an operational two-source (soil+ vegetation) model for evaluating the surface
energy balance given measurements of the time rate of change in radiometric surface …

A simple model of energy exchange between the land surface and the atmospheric
boundary layer, driven by input that can be derived primarily through remote sensing, is …

The amount and spatial and temporal dynamics of vegetation are important information in
environmental studies and agricultural practices. There has been a great deal of interest in …

Although it has been studied for over 160 years, the urban heat island (UHI) effect is still not
completely understood, yet it is increasingly important. The main purpose of this work is to …
