Earth system models and many other applications require biogeophysical variables, and
remote sensing is the only means by which to estimate them at the appropriate spatial and …

This paper proposes an artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the solar energy
generation produced by photovoltaic generators. The intermittent nature of solar power …

Evaporation is an important component of the water and energy balance of lakes and
reservoirs. The energy balance combination method for estimating evaporation requires the …

Many difficulties associated with Global Solar Radiation (GSR)'variability in space and time
and with the angular position in sky hemisphere hamper its accurate knowledge. Fiji Islands …

Abstract The Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) is an important part of the atmosphere that is
relevant in different atmospheric fields like pollutant dispersion, and weather forecasting. In …

When modeling the soil/atmosphere interaction, it is of paramount importance to determine
the net radiation flux. There are two common calculation methods for this purpose. Method 1 …

Calculation of regional, spatially distributed evapotranspiration (ET) is possible using
remotely sensed surface temperatures from sensors aboard air or space platforms. These …

Potential evapotranspiration (PET) as the upper limit of the water vapor flux into the
atmosphere is a fundamental and important concept in climate-related research. However …

The surface energy budget is closely related to freeze-thaw processes and is also a key
issue for land surface process research in permafrost regions. In this study, in situ data …

Distribution of solar radiation is vital to locate the most suitable regions for harvesting solar
energy, but solar radiation is only observed at few stations due to high costs and difficult …
