Presentation Transcript

  1. HAR de Bruin Freelnce consultant ScintillometryHenk de Bruin Associate Professor Emeritus Presented by Massimo Menenti NASA - USDA Workshop on Evapotranspiration, Silver Spring Md.

  2. Features scintillometry • Meteorological and hydrological models need as boundary conditions the surface fluxes of sensible heat (H) and water vapor (ET), • The horizontal spatial scale of a grid box used in these models is at least several kilometers • At this scale most land surface are heterogeneous • Conventional techniques concern point observations • Long-path scintillometry provides H and ET over heterogeneous terrain on km scales • PM Not discussed here:Short path scintillometers provide, besides H, momentum flux also and indirectly, ET and CO2, for short time intervals NASA - USDA Workshop on Evapotranspiration, Silver Spring Md.

  3. Dutch history of scintillometry De Bruin, 2009. BAMS • Idea: Wesely (1976) • Renaissance: EFEDA experiment Spain 1991 with Wim Kohsiek • 1994: mirror-type LAS built in Wageningen De Bruin et al (1995, 1996) • Experiments:Green at al. (1994), McAneney et al. (1995), Lagouarde et al. (1996, 2002) • Further developments in Wageningen: Messera valley - Crete (1996?), Jornada (1997), Montestigliano, Tuscany (1998, RESMEDES) • Tibet: Naqu and Everest (2009 – 2010) • Prototype improved, Kipp & Zonen, … NASA - USDA Workshop on Evapotranspiration, Silver Spring Md.
