Maffei, C. (author), Menenti, M. (author)The increasing demand for effective forest fire prevention instruments has faced operational and future Earth observation instruments with the challenge of producing updated and reliable maps of vegetation moisture.

Shi, J. (author), Menenti, M. (author), Lindenbergh, R. (author)Glaciers in the Tibetan mountains are expected to be sensitive to turbulent sensible and latent heat fluxes. One of the most significant factors of the energy exchange between the atmospheric boundary layer and the glacier is the roughness of the glacier surface. However, methods to parameterize this roughness for glacier surfaces in remote...journal article 2013

Faivre, R.D. (author), Colin, Jérôme (author), Menenti, M. (author)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...journal article 2017

Li, Nana (author), Jia, Li (author), Lu, Jing (author), Menenti, M. (author), Zhou, J. (author)The regional surface soil heat flux (G0) estimation is very important for the large-scale land surface process modeling. However, most of the regional G0 estimation methods are based on the empirical relationship between G0 and the net radiation flux. A physical model based on harmonic analysis was improved (referred to as "HM model") and...journal article 2017

Herrero Huerta, M. (author), Lagüela, S. (author), Alfieri, S.M. (author), Menenti, M. (author)Remote sensing imagery to monitor global biophysical dynamics requires the availability of thermal infrared data at high temporal and spatial resolution because of the rapid development of crops during the growing season and the fragmentation of most agricultural landscapes. Conversely, no single sensor meets these combined requirements. Data...conference paper 2017

Bangira, T. (author), Alfieri, S.M. (author), Menenti, M. (author), van Niekerk, Adriaan (author), Vekerdy, Zoltán (author)The Caprivi basin in Namibia has been affected by severe flooding in recent years resulting in deaths, displacements and destruction of infrastructure. The negative consequences of these floods have emphasized the need for timely, accurate and objective information about the extent and location of affected areas. Due to the high temporal...journal article 2017

Bangira, T. (author), Alfieri, S.M. (author), Menenti, M. (author), van Niekerk, Adriaan (author)Small reservoirs play an important role in mining, industries, and agriculture, but storage levels or stage changes are very dynamic. Accurate and up-to-date maps of surface water storage and distribution are invaluable for informing decisions relating to water security, flood monitoring, and water resources management.

(author)This study on a large irrigation scheme in Morocco addressed a two-fold question: (a) does the local water management authority adapt water releases to atmospheric water demand ET<sub>0</sub>-P? and (b) does crop actual evapotranspiration respond to inter- and intra-annual variability in water releases? We have evaluated the inter-annual...journal article 2019
