Evaluation of methods for aerodynamic roughness length retrieval from very high-resolution imaging LIDAR observations over the heihe basin in China

The parameterization of heat transfer based on remote sensing data, and the Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) scheme to retrieve turbulent heat fluxes, already proved to be very appropriate for estimating evapotranspiration (ET) over homogeneous land surfaces. However, the use of such a method over heterogeneous landscapes (e.g., semi-arid...

Addendum: Evaluation of methods for aerodynamic roughness length retrieval from very high-resolution imaging LIDAR observations over the Heihe Basin in China [Remote Sens., 9, (2017) 63]

This work presented in [1] was partly supported by the ESA Dragon 2 programme under proposal no. 5322: "Key Eco-Hydrological Parameters Retrieval and Land Data Assimilation System Development in a Typical Inland River Basin of China's Arid Region", a project which was coordinated at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) with Massimo...

Multi-sensor remote sensing parameterization of heat fluxes over heterogeneous land surfaces

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...
