Trend and sensitivity analysis of reference evapotranspiration in the Senegal River basin using NASA meteorological data...
Understanding evapotranspiration and its long-term trends is essential for water cycle studies, modeling and for water uses. Spatial and temporal analysis of evapotranspiration is therefore important for the management of water resources, particularly in the context of climate change. The objective of this study is to analyze the trend of reference...
The sensitivity of global surface air temperature to vegetation greenness
Terrestrial vegetation plays a crucial role in governing the land surface energy budget, which in turn drives the climate of the Earth. The climatic feedbacks of vegetation changes are different across vegetation greenness gradients and climatological conditions, which has not been studied clearly. In this study, we used remote sensing and re-analy...
Evaluating the land-surface energy partitioning in ERA5
Climate reanalyses provide a plethora of global atmospheric and surface parameters in a consistent manner over multi-decadal timescales. Hence, they are widely used in many fields, and an in-depth evaluation of the different variables provided by reanalyses is a necessary means to provide feedback on the quality to their users and the operational c...
The effects of water stress on croplands in the Aral Sea basin
Necesidades hídricas del fríjol caupí (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.). calculadas con el coeficiente de cultivo utilizand...
The objective is to estimate the water needs of the cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) var. INIAP-463 from the culture coefficient using drainage lysimeter. It was carried out in the months of January to April 2018, three plots of 25m2 were implemented, and drainage lysimeters were located in the center of them. The plots were placed near the meteorolog...
Temporal Decorrelation of Tropical Dense Forest at C-Band: First Insights From the TropiScat-2 Experiment
Following the past TropiScat and AfriScat tower-based scatterometer experiments conducted as part of the ESA BIOMASS mission preparation activities, a follow-on experiment referred to as TropiScat-2 has been undertaken in French Guiana since March 2018. Based on new capabilities including C-band acquisitions, this paper addresses the question of te...
Soil moisture in relation to lake fluctuations in a river-lake-basin system: A case study of the Poyang Lake region, Chi...
Lake fluctuations in river-lake-basin (RLB) systems are highly complex because of the significant interactions of various hydrological variables. Clarifying these interactions would be helpful for understanding the physical mechanisms of lake fluctuations and improving responses to extreme hydrological events (i.e., drought or flood). Though numero...
