Use of Remote Sensing for Monitoring Evaporation over Managed Watersheds
Publication: Watershed Management and Operations Management 2000
Abstract
The USDA ARS Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed (WGEW) has been the site for numerous interdisciplinary experiments focused on the use of remote sensing for estimating distributed evaporation (E). This report documents a selection of the remote sensing techniques that have been applied at WGEW and reports the resulting accuracies of estimates of E, along with the advantages and disadvantages of each technique. This selected techniques were contrasted with an operational remote sensing approach for monitoring E implemented by the Bureau of Reclamation for the Lower Colorado River Basin.
