Parameterization and Application of Stanghellini Model for Estimating Greenhouse Cucumber Transpiration

Accurate estimation of transpiration (Tr) is important in the development of precise irrigation scheduling and to enhance water-use efficiency in agricultural production. In this study, the air temperature (Ta) and relative humidity (RH) were measured at three different heights (0.5, 1.0, and 1.8 m above the ground near the plant canopy)...

Parameterization of canopy resistance for modeling the energy partitioning of a paddy rice field

Models for predicting hourly canopy resistance (r_c) and latent heat flux (LET) based on the Penman–Monteith (PM) and bulk transfer methods are presented. The micrometeorological data and LET were observed during paddy rice-growing seasons in 2010 in Japan. One approach to model r_c was using an aerodynamic resistance (r...
