Derived Optimal Linear Combination Evapotranspiration (DOLCE): a global gridded synthesis ET estimate

A New Method to Estimate Evapotranspiration from the Combination of Modis Aqua and Terra Measurements

Evapotranspiration(ET) is one of the key fluxes in all water budget studies, satellite remote sensing is a promising tool to establishment operational frame works for estimating ET at large extent. One of the most common ways is to solve LE, as a residual in the land surface energy balance equation: RN G = H + LE. And the largest uncertainty in estimating H comes from the acquisition and spatia...

GOES surface insolation to estimate wetlands evapotranspiration

Incoming solar radiation derived from GOES-8 satellite observations, in combination with local meteorological measurements, were used to model evapotranspiration from a wetland. The wetland experiment was conducted in the Paynes Prairie Preserve, North Central Florida during a growing season characterized by significant convective activity. The satellite solar radiation measurements generally a...

Optimal Linear Combination of Dichotomizers via AUC

A well established technique to improve the classification performances is to combine more classifiers. However, the possible combination rules proposed up to now generally try to decrease the classification error rate, which is a performance measure not suitable in many real situations and particularly when dealing with two class problems. In this case, an effective instrument to analyze the d...

Spatial Reallocation of Global Gridded Climate Datasets

Global climatological data are often evaluated in grids with perpendicular boundaries in a cylinder projection of the longitude and latitude circles of the earth. Typical datasets contain 10 6 to 10 8 values. Each dataset is organized in a diierent grid, according to the authors's preferences. When calculating the global radiation over the ocean, for example, it is essential that cloud data fro...
