Hendrickx, J.M.H. (author), Hong, S. (author), Friesen, J. (author), Compaore, H. (author), Van de Giesen, N.C. (author), Rodgers, C. (author), Vlek, P.L.G. (author)Accurate information on the distribution of sensible and latent heat fluxes as well as soil moisture is critical for evaluation of background characteristics. Since these fluxes are subject to rapid changes in time and space, it is nearly impossible to determine their spatial and temporal distributions over large areas from ground measurements...conference paper 2006

Karimi, P. (author)This thesis introduces Water Accounting Plus (WA+), which is a new framework designed to provide explicit spatial information on water depletion and net withdrawal processes in complex river basins. WA+ is a simple, yet comprehensive and understandable water accounting framework that provides a standardized way of data collection and a...doctoral thesis 2014

Faivre, R.D. (author)The parameterization of heat transfer by remote sensing, and based on SEBS scheme for turbulent heat fluxes retrieval, already proved to be very convenient for estimating evapotranspiration (ET) over homogeneous land surfaces. However, the use of such a method over heterogeneous landscapes (e.g. semi-arid regions or agricultural land) becomes...doctoral thesis 2014

(author)The increasing competition for water resources requires a better understanding of flows, fluxes, stocks, and the services and benefits related to water consumption. This paper explains how public domain Earth Observation data based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Second Generation Meteosat (MSG), Tropical Rainfall...journal article 2014

Harman, C.J. (author), Rao, P.S.C. (author), Basu, N.B. (author), McGrath, G.S. (author), Kumar, P. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author)Temporal patterns of solute transport and transformation through the vadose zone are driven by the stochastic variability of water fluxes. This is determined by the hydrologic filtering of precipitation variability into infiltration, storage, drainage, and evapotranspiration. In this work we develop a framework for examining the role of the...journal article 2011

Kiptala, J.K. (author), Mohamedi, Y. (author), Mul, M.L. (author), Van der Zaag, P. (author)Evapotranspiration (ET) accounts for a substantial amount of the water use in river basins particular in the tropics and arid regions. However, accurate estimation still remains a challenge especially in large spatially heterogeneous and data scarce areas including the Upper Pangani River Basin in Eastern Africa. Using multitemporal Moderate...journal article 2013

Thompson, S.E. (author), Harman, C.J. (author), Konings, A.G. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author), Neal, A. (author), Troch, P.A. (author)Watersheds can be characterized as complex space?time filters that transform incoming fluxes of energy, water, and nutrients into variable output signals. The behavior of these filters is driven by climate, geomorphology, and ecology and, accordingly, varies from site to site. We investigated this variation by exploring the behavior of...journal article 2011

Raji, B. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Van den Dobbelsteen, A. (author)Scarcity of resources and environmental issues caused by human activities stimulate designers and policy makers to search for energy efficient strategies for sustainable development. A considerable amount of energy consumption and CO2 emission comes from the building sector which today accounts for 40% of the world’s energy use. Greenery systems...journal article 2015

Simons, G.W.H. (author), Bastiaanssen, W.G.M. (author), Ngô, L.A. (author), Hain, C.R. (author), Anderson, M. (author), Senay, G. (author)With changes in weather patterns and intensifying anthropogenic water use, there is an increasing need for spatio-temporal information on water fluxes and stocks in river basins. The assortment of satellite-derived open-access information sources on rainfall (P) and land use/land cover (LULC) is currently being expanded with the application of...journal article 2016

Mueller, Marlin M. (author), Dubois, Clémence (author), Jagdhuber, Thomas (author), Hellwig, Florian M. (author), Pathe, Carsten (author), Schmullius, Christiane (author), Steele-Dunne, S.C. (author)Forests’ ecosystems are an essential part of the global carbon cycle with vast carbon storage potential. These systems are currently under external pressures showing increasing change due to climate change. A better understanding of the biophysical properties of forests is, therefore, of paramount importance for research and monitoring...journal article 2022

Beenen, Kathelijne (author)Due to increasing global population and increasing food demand, crop yield needs to be improved to forestall potential food shortages. To achieve optimal crop yield, irrigation is applied to replace water losses due to evapotranspiration (ET). Information on ET should be applied to optimize water allocations and water use. In this study, the...master thesis 2020

De Bruin, H.A.R. (author)In this report information is given on the probability of (extreme)dry or wet periods during the growing season. It is rather difficult to define an objective parameter for the indication of what is called "dry"or "wet". In this report we have chosen precipitation RR, open water evaporation Eo and the potential precipitation surplus RR-Epot,...report 1979
