An Estimation of the Bulk Transfer Coefficients for a Bare Soil Surface Using a Linear Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A linear heat budget model is developed to estimate the daytime means of the bulk transfer coefficients for heat and evaporation efficiency using the daily variation of observational data. The daily variation of shortwave ...
A Proper Method for Estimating Sensible Heat Flux above a Horizontal-Homogeneous Vegetation Canopy Using Radiometric Surface Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A multilayer energy budget model for a horizontal-homogeneous vegetation canopy and a simple radiometric canopy model are developed to estimate sensible heat flux with use of the observed directional radiometric temperature ...
Thermal Inertia Approach Using a Heat Budget Model to Estimate the Spatial Distribution of Surface Soil Moisture over a Semiarid Grassland in Central Mongolia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThermal inertia is a physical parameter that evaluates soil thermal properties with an emphasis on the stability of the temperature when the soil is affected by heating/cooling. Thermal inertia can be retrieved ...
Soil Moisture Estimation Using Thermal Inertia: Potential and Sensitivity to Data Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hermal inertia retrieval using a thermal infrared remote sensing technique has been examined as a possible method for estimating soil moisture. This method is an application of the theory that thermal inertia highly ...
