David Buckley NASA Student Airborne Research Program August 7, 2012

Objec'ves
Provide agriculturalists with high temporal and spa'al resolu'on evapotranspira'on (ET) es'ma'ons Validate the use of a Two-Source Energy Balance Model to es'mate ET over Delano Vineyards

Evapotranspira'on
Rnet = Net Radia+on LE = Latent Heat Flux (W/m2) (W/m2) H = Sensible Heat G = Soil Heat Flux Flux (W/m2) (W/m2)

Surface Energy Balance

Rnet = H + LE + G Rnet,c = Hc + LEc Rnet,s = Hs + LEs + G

Atmosphere-Land Exchange Inverse Model

ET model based on an atmospheric boundary layer model Regional scale (e.g. United States) High Temporal Resolu'on (Geosta'onary Satellites) Low Spa'al Resolu'on (5 10 km pixel size)

ALEXI

ALEXI Inputs and Sources

Anderson et al. 2007

DisALEXI
Complements ALEXI by disaggrega'ng es'mates to micrometeorological scales Uses a Two-Source Energy Balance Model (TSEB) High Spa'al Resolu'on (30m+ pixel size)

DisALEXI/ALEXI
Rnet = Net Radia+on (W/ LE = Latent Heat m2) Flux (W/m2) H = Sensible G = Soil Heat Heat Flux (W/ Flux (W/m2) m2)

Energy Balance

If Hc > Rnet, conserva'on of energy is violated

Set LEc to 0 (LE-total is 0) Back Calculate the rest of the energy budget

Priestley-Taylor Results

Latent Heat at the Canopy (c) and Surface (s)

LEc: 268.60 W/m2 LEs: -86.47 W/m2

LEc and LEs Means (P-T)

On-Site Flux Tower: 242.21 W/m2

Latent Heat at the Canopy (c) and Surface (s)

LEc: 307.48 W/m2 LEs: 1.848 W/m2

LEc and LEs Means (TSEB)

On-Site Flux Tower: 242.21 W/m2

Two-Source Energy Balance

LE: 309.13 W/m2 On-Site Flux Tower: 242.21 W/m2

TSEB Results

Conclusions
My complete TSEB model es'mates LE fairly accurately, but needs work on boundary condi'ons (e.g. roads) The Priestley-Taylor method es'mates LE fairly accurately, and clearly has issues with dry soil.

Extensions
Quan'fy model sensi'vity to varying input parameters, like clumping coecient or leaf angle distribu'on
