Soil Texture Effects on Surface Resistance to Bare‐Soil Evaporation

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018
AbstractModeling of surface energy balance and the separation of evapotranspiration to its component fluxes require quantification of evaporation from land surfaces. The nonlinear relationship between surface heat fluxes and the hydration state of soil surfaces present a challenge to remote estimation of surface evaporation rates.
