As the largest river basin on Earth, the Amazon is of major importance to the world's climate
and water resources. Over the past decades, advances in satellite‐based remote sensing …

This review surveys the basic theories, observational methods, satellite algorithms, and land
surface models for terrestrial evapotranspiration, E (or λE, ie, latent heat flux), including a …

Abstract This Manual of Practice (MOP) is a comprehensive reference to estimating the
water quantities needed for irrigation of crops based upon the physics of evaporation and …

A Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) is proposed for the estimation of atmospheric
turbulent fluxes and evaporative fraction using satellite earth observation data, in …

As evaporation of water is an energy-demanding process, increasing evapotranspiration
rates decrease the surface temperature (Ts) of leaves and plants. Based on this principle …

The parameterization of thermal roughness length z0h plays a key role in land surface
modeling. Previous studies have found that the daytime land surface temperature (LST) on …

We applied a satellite remote sensing–based evapotranspiration (ET) algorithm to assess
global terrestrial ET from 1983 to 2006. The algorithm quantifies canopy transpiration and …

Obtaining accurate estimates of evapotranspiration is a key issue in many fields like
hydrology, ecology, and agriculture. There exist different ways, including physical-based …

Three process based models are used to estimate terrestrial heat fluxes and
evapotranspiration (ET) at the global scale: a single source energy budget model, a Penman …

We evaluated the performance of four commonly applied land surface evaporation models
using a high-quality dataset of selected FLUXNET towers. The models that were examined …
