Estimation of Regional Evapotranspiration through Remote Sensing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Models used for the remote estimation of evapotranspiration are evaluated using aircraft observations over two distinct vegetation regimes in southwestern Australia. Single-source models using an empirically determined ...
Switching between First-Order Closure Schemes in a Numerical Mesoscale Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Within the numerical mesoscale model described by McNider and Pielke (1981) the eddy exchange coefficients are estimated from either a local or nonlocal scheme. Switching between these is dependent on the sign of the surface ...
Estimation of Surface Energy Balance from Radiant Surface Temperature and NOAA AVHRR Sensor Reflectances over Agricultural and Native Vegetation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model is developed to evaluate surface heat flux densities using the radiant surface temperature and red and near-infrared reflectances from the NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer sensor. Net radiation is ...
Land–Atmosphere Interaction in a Semiarid Region: The Bunny Fence Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Southwestern Australia, with a semiarid Mediterranean climate, has been extensively cleared of native vegetation for winter-growing agricultural species The resultant reduction in evapotranspiration has increased land ...
