Title: Symposium--Partitioning of Evapotranspiration: Instrumentation and Simulation

Lead Community Sponsor: Evapotranspiration Measurement and Modeling Community
Cosponsor: SSSA Division: Soil Physics and Hydrology
Community Cosponsor: Biophysical Measurements and Sensors Community, Crop Irrigation Strategies and Management Community, Sensor-Based Water Management Community
Format: Oral Symposium
Keywords: evaporation and transpiration, evapotranspiration partitioning, instrumentation and simulation and satellite-based algorithms

Session Description: Accurate and reliable estimates of evapotranspiration (ET) have been a research area over decades. However, estimates from surface instrumentation and satellite sensing in regard to partitioning ET into evaporation (E) and transpiration (T) have increasing interest especially for water-limited agricultural systems. Various advanced methods and instrumentation, as well as satellite-driven modeling, have been developed in recent years for crop ET, crop transpiration, and soil evaporation. This session will include all crop ET studies, partitioning algorithms and instruments, and related techniques which benefit the ET Measurement and Modeling Community.
