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 …

Diurnal variation in soil heat flux is a key constraint on the amount of energy available for
sensible and latent heating of the lower troposphere. Many studies have demonstrated that …

Roughness height for heat transfer is a crucial parameter in estimation of heat transfer
between the land surface and the atmosphere. Although many empirical formulations have …

In the spirit of the Special Issue of HESS to which it contributes, this paper documents the
origin and development of the science of natural evaporation from land surfaces over the …

Surface temperature serves as a key boundary condition that defines the partitioning of
surface radiation into sensible and latent heat fluxes. Surface brightness temperature …

A new method for a composite evaluation of atmospheric resistance, surface resistance, and
evapotranspiration rate (λE) is applied to Landsat-5 TM. The method uses three equations to …

This article provides a focused survey of progress in crop evapotranspiration (ET)
measurement and modeling, with particular emphasis on the aspects of interest to the …

Estimation of evapotranspiration and photosynthesis from remote sensing data frequently
use soil–vegetation–atmosphere transfer models (SVAT models). These models compute …

Accurate estimation of surface energy fluxes from space at high spatial resolution has the
potential to improve prediction of the impact of land-use changes on the local environment …

The partitioning of available energy into dissipative fluxes over land surfaces is dependent
on the state variable of the surface energy balance (land surface temperature) and the state …
