Abstract: | An evapotranspiration method comparison was carried out by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI, Sri Lanka),
at two locations in the Gediz Basin, Turkey, in the period from May to September 1998. In the IWMI study a number of ground-based
techniques were compared with results obtained by remote sensing methods. Recently, a search of the satellite active archive
yielded over 70 high quality level 1b images from NOAA/AVHRR over the same time period. The processing of these images with
the SEBAL algorithm enabled us to build up a detailed time series of sensible and latent heat fluxes for a period of 120 days.
In this paper a comparison is made between the sensible and latent heat fluxes determined from the present series of NOAA-14/AVHRR
images and the results obtained earlier from various other prediction methods applied during the 1998 IWMI project. Specifically,
the NOAA/SEBAL results are assessed against the scintillometer and temperature fluctuation methods. The results show that
the NOAA derived evapotranspiration values follow the seasonal irrigation cycle quite well and correspond closely to the Landsat
derived values, although they are lower than the results obtained with the traditional crop factor and Penman–Monteith methods. |
