Salati and Nobre (1990), in a review of the basinscale water vapor budget of the Amazon Basin analyzed by previous studies, pointed out that evapotranspiration accounts for more than 50% of precipitation. This estimate was later confirmed by Nobre et al. (1991) using the water vapor budget of several studies with various horizontal scales within the Amazon Basin. Note that total evapotranspirat...

Despite a multitude of small catchment studies, we lack deep understanding how variations in critical zone architecture lead to hydrologic states and fluxes. This study characterizes dynamics 15 catchments the U.S. Critical Zone Observatory (CZO) network where hypothesized that our subsurface structure would illuminate patterns partitioning. The CZOs collect data sets characterize physical, che...

abstract evapotranspiration (et) is one of the most important components of the water balance, it is also one of the most difficult to measure. despite the importance of et, methods to obtain values of et are still limited. conventional methods are very local, ranging from point to field scale. estimates of the et over the entire area, especially for irrigated areas, are essential, as these can...

in this study, climatic parameters are used to evaluate the sensitivity of reference evapotranspiration in isfahan and rasht with two semi-arid and moderate climates using two intelligent methods during 1970-2010. in this research, multi-layer precpetron e (mlp) and gene expression programming (gep) intelligent models are used in order to analyze the sensitivity of reference evapotranspiration ...

This study was focused on a key aspect of drought monitoring that has not been systematically studied in the literature: evaluation capacity evapotranspiration data retrieved using geostationary meteorological satellites for use as water stress precursor. The work methodologically based comparisons between constructed indexes vegetation (evapotranspiration index (ETDI) and evaporative ratio (ES...

Abstract. A common parameter in hydrological modeling frameworks is root zone water storage capacity (SR[L]), which mediates plant availability during dry periods as well the partitioning of rainfall between runoff and evapotranspiration. Recently, a simple flux-tracking-based approach was introduced to estimate value SR (Wang-Erlandsson et al., 2016). Here, we build upon this original method, ...
