Outline • Research Issues in ET modeling • Satellite Data • Initial Results • Still to achieve science goals from NAFE Campaign • Ongoing Research Projects
Water losses and gains are part of the water cycle ET is important at all scales loss crop farm irrigation area gain catchment surface groundwater Basin
Key Research Issues • ET is coupled mass/energy process, linking the energy and water cycles • Estimation of ET is critical for on-farm and regional models in irrigation systems • ET is the largest water balance component after rainfall and irrigation input • Water quantification (i.e. productive and non-productive use) is important for irrigated agriculture.
Current state-of-the-art Approaches for measuring Actual ET • In-situ measurement (Bowen ratio tower, & soil water balance, etc.) • Air-borne measurement (fluxes) • Satellite measurement • High Spatial Resolution (ASTER and Landsat) • High Temporal Resolution (MODIS and NOAA-AVHRR) • Modelling Approaches (plant to catchment)
The challenge in ET Modeling…. We can’t cover everythingall of the time… • in-situ observations:(lysimeters, flux towers) cover almost nothing but most of the time cover almost everything but hardly ever • aircraft observations:(fluxes, concentrations) • satellite observations:(AVHRR, MODIS … ) cover everythingall of the time but not at the time when we want! • modelling:(leaf …. region) only pretends to cover everything all of the time Modified from Dr Schmid, Indiana University
Methods for Quantification of Actual ET • Empirical direct methods • Characterizing crop water status through the cumulative temperature difference (Ts-Ta) • Residual methods of the energy budget • Combination of empirical relationship and physical modules (SEBAL, SEBS) • Deterministic methods • Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer models (SVAT) • Vegetation Index methods

R n ET = R - G - H n Remote Sensing for Actual ET Estimation • ET is calculated as a “residual” of the energy balance (radiation from sun and sky) ET H (heat to air) Basic Truth: Evaporation consumes Energy The energy balance includes all major sources (Rn) and consumers (ET, G, H) of energy G (heat to ground) Adapted from IDAHAO
