Influence of wind direction on the surface roughness of vineyards
(Springer Verlag, 2018-11-27)
Remote sensing-based models are the most viable means of collecting the high-resolution spatially distributed estimates of evaporative water loss needed to manage irrigation and ensure the effective use ...
Determining a robust indirect measurement of leaf area index in California vineyards for validating remote sensing-based retrievals
(Springer Verlag, 2018-12-05)
Accurate ground-based measurements of leaf area index (LAI) are needed for validation of remote sensing-based retrievals used in models estimating plant water use, stress, carbon assimilation and other ...
Utility of the two-source energy balance (TSEB) model in vine and interrow flux partitioning over the growing season
(Springer Verlag, 2018-09-14)
For monitoring water use in vineyards, it becomes important to evaluate the evapotranspiration (ET) contributions from the two distinct management zones: the vines and the interrow. Often the interrow ...
Drivers of spatio-temporal variability of carbon dioxide and energyfluxes ina Mediterranean savanna ecosystem
(Elsevier, 2018-07-25)
To understand what is driving spatial flux variability within a savanna type ecosystem in central Spain, data of
three co-located eddy covariance (EC) towers in combination with hyperspectral airborne ...
Monitoring crop evapotranspiration and crop coefficients over an almond and pistachio orchard throughout remote sensing
(MDPI, 2018-12-10)
In California, water is a perennial concern. As competition for water resources increases due to growth in population, California’s tree nut farmers are committed to improving the efficiency of water ...
Evaluating the feasibility of using Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 satellites for high-resolution evapotranspiration estimations
(Elsevier, 2018-11-21)
The Sentinel satellite missions are designed to provide remote-sensing observational capability to many diverse operational applications, including in the field of agriculture and food security. They ...
Performance of a Chill Overlap Model for Predicting Budbreak in Chardonnay Grapevines over a Broad Range of Growing Conditions
(American Society for Enology and Viticulture (ASEV), 2018-09-26)
Predicting phenological stages through modeling has significant implications for planning viticultural practices and for predicting the impact of climate change on phenology. The Chill Overlap Model is ...
Evaluation of TSEB turbulent fluxes using different methods for the retrieval of soil and canopy component temperatures from UAV thermal and multispectral imagery
(Springer, 2018-09-14)
The thermal-based Two-Source Energy Balance (TSEB) model partitions the evapotranspiration (ET) and energy fluxes from vegetation and soil components providing the capability for estimating soil evaporation ...
Assessment of different methods for shadow detection in high-resolution optical imagery and evaluation of shadow impact on calculation of NDVI, and evapotranspiration
(Springer Verlag, 2018-12-03)
Significant efforts have been made recently in the application of high-resolution remote sensing imagery (i.e., sub-meter) captured by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for precision agricultural applications ...
Water primrose invasion changes successional pathways in an estuarine ecosystem
(Ecological Society of America, 2018-09-17)
Invasive species fundamentally change the bio-physical and ecological characteristics of the
ecosystems they invade. Rapidly expanding invasive species may facilitate the spread of other invasive ...
