Leaf area index (LAI) is a critical vegetation structural variable and is essential in the
feedback of vegetation to the climate system. The advancement of the global Earth …

Population growth, economic development, and dietary changes have drastically increased
the demand for food and water. The resulting expansion of irrigated agriculture into semi …

Evapotranspiration (ET) is an essential ecohydrological process linking the land surface
energy, water and carbon cycles, and plays a critical role in the earth system. ET remains …

Mountain ranges in Asia are important water suppliers, especially if downstream climates
are arid, water demands are high and glaciers are abundant. In such basins, the …

Irrigated agriculture is the principal consumer of fresh water resources. Most countries do not
have a precise measurement of water consumption for irrigation. In this study, an innovative …

Daily actual evapotranspiration (ET) and its components–soil evaporation (E) and
vegetation transpiration (T)–play a key role in water resource management of irrigated …

Terrestrial actual evapotranspiration (ETa) is an important component of the terrestrial water
cycle. Currently there are two operational ETa products using moderate spatial resolution …

Forty seven percent of the population of Pakistan is food insecure, access to food is uneven
and malnutrition is widespread. In addition, food production depends greatly on irrigation …

Evapotranspiration (ET) is one of the most important components in the water cycle.
However, there are relatively few direct measurements of ET available (eg using flux …

Model calibration and validation are challenging in poorly gauged basins. We developed
and applied a new approach to calibrate hydrological models using distributed geospatial …
