The potential value of remotely sensed data in the assessment of evapotranspiration and evaporation

Remote Sensing Based Crop Coefficients for Water Management in Agriculture

“…Factors that determine the crop coefficients are crop type, climate, soil evaporation and crop growth stages [1,2]. For this purpose FAO has proposed tabulated average values distinguishing by crops that can be applied knowing its phenology.…”

Maximum and Actual Evapotranspiration for Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) through NOAA Satellite Images in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain

“…The mean value of this dif ference is 0 и 1 Ú 0 и 8 mm d Ϫ 1 , which suggests that the proposed method works reasonably well in this area . 3 . 3 …”

“…NOAA-11 (national oceanic atmosphere administration) satellite images have often been ex- Presented at Ag Eng 94 , Milan , Italy , 29 August -1 September , 1994 plored for estimating regional evapotranspiration taking advantage of the temperature information collected by the AVHRR (advanced very high resolution radiometer) sensor in the form of infrared data (Bailey ;3 Vidal and Perrier ;4 Lagouarde ; 5 Caselles et al . ; 6 Sandholt and Andersen 7 ) .…”

Energy and Mass Exchange Over Incomplete Vegetation Cover

“…This is very promising since remote sensing can provide spatial information at varying scales that enable estimation of evapotranspiration over areas ranging from small plots to regions. Extensive reviews on the use of remote sensing for estimation of evapotranspiration from land surfaces are widely documented (e.g., Bailey, 1990;Kustas and Norman, 1996;Courault et al, 2005;Overgaard et al, 2005;Li et al, 2009).…”
