Spatial dynamics of actual daily evapotranspiration
Abstract
Estimation of actual daily evapotranspiration was conducted using SEBAL methodology, an approach based on surface energy balance equation that uses information derived from satellite image (NOAA AVHRR) and meteorological measurements from selected gauging stations, measured at the time of the satellite overpass. Apart from quantifying actual daily evapotranspiration, presented approach enables an insight into spatial characteristics of all energy balance components as well as spatial dynamics of evapotranspiration.
