Single- and Dual-Source Modeling of Surface Energy Fluxes with Radiometric Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Single- and dual-source models of the surface energy transfer across the soil-vegetation-atmosphere interface were used in conjunction with remotely sensed surface temperature for computing the surface energy balance over ...
Sensible Heat Flux-Radiometric Surface Temperature Relationship for Eight Semiarid Areas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of sensible heat flux, radiometric surface temperature, air temperature, and wind speed made at eight semiarid rangeland sites were used to investigate the sensible heat flux-aerodynamic resistance relationship. ...
Relationships between Evaporative Fraction and Remotely Sensed Vegetation Index and Microwave Brightness Temperature for Semiarid Rangelands
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of the microwave brightness temperature (TB) with the Pushbroom Microwave Radiometer (PBMR) over the Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed were made on selected days during the MONSOON 90 field campaign. The ...
An Interdisciplinary Field Study of the Energy and Water Fluxes in the Atmospheric-Biosphere System over Semiarid Rangelands: Description and Some Preliminary Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Arid and semiarid rangelands comprise a significant portion of the earth's land surface. Yet little is known about the effects of temporal and spatial changes in surface soil moisture on the hydrologic cycle, energy balance, ...
