    Benefits: Remote Sensing of Actual Evapotranspiration (Etc)

    Uploaded by

    Aryalekshmi BN
    The ITRC-METRIC procedure uses Landsat imagery and a surface energy balance to compute actual evapotranspiration (ETc) on a spatial scale of 30 meters by 30 meters. It determines ETc without needing to know details about crop types, schedules, or management practices. ETc is computed rather than potential ETc, and evapotranspiration from non-cropped areas is also determined. Ground weather data is coupled with remotely sensed data to generate crop coefficients and interpolate ETc between image dates.

    Remote Sensing of Actual Evapotranspiration (ETc)

    ITRC-METRIC
    The ITRC-modified Mapping of EvapoTranspiration with Internal Calibration
    at high resolution (ITRC-METRIC) procedure uses a surface energy balance
    to compute actual evapotranspiration spacially using LandSAT imagery.

    Spatial distribution of evapotranspiration accounting for actual crop stress at the


    time of image acquisition at 30 meter by 30 meter resolution.
    No need to know crop type, planting or harvest dates, crop development timing,
    irrigation schedules or irrigation methods, etc.
    Benefits Actual ETc is computed rather than potential ETc. Actual ETc is needed for most
    hydrologic investigations.
    Evapotranspiration from non-cropped areas is also determined. This would include
    vegetation along roads, canals, and drains and areas that might be supported by
    variable rainfall (e.g., foothills along the valley floor).

    Coupling remotely sensed data (LandSAT) with ground-based weather data to generate crop coefficients on a
    pixel-by-pixel basis, Kc’s are interpolated between image acquisition dates and grass reference ETo (based on weather
    data collected at CIMIS stations) is used to compute the daily pixel ETc.

    Uses

    Field-level evaluations of uniformity in


    Field to-field comparisons of ETc to evaluate: evapotranspiration tied to uniformity of irrigation
    New crop coefficients for crops under varying and fertilizer applications
    management strategies
    Potential yield improvements through better
    management

    Water rights and water use for regulatory and


    Surface and groundwater hydrologic investigation water transfer evaluations
    (Computing accurate actual ETc has been a major Large-scale water balance investigations
    limiting factor in these investigations)
