Keywords: Eddy covariance, Energy balance, Lysimeter and Water management
Session Description: Accurately quantifying crop water requirements (ET) is critical for scheduling irrigations for optimizing water productivity in agriculture. Lysimeters, eddy covariance (EC), and energy balance (EB) are modern methods for estimating ET. The EC method has been widely known to have unresolved energy balance closure related issues. In this symposium, we will discuss experiences, across the globe, on the direction the ET research using modern technologies is advancing today. Presentations will include experiences with lysimeters, eddy covariance, energy balance, climatological, water balance, and other micrometeorological methods and agricultural system modeling in water management research.
