2 ET mapping with SEBAL and METRIC tm Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land Dr. Wim Bastiaanssen, WaterWatch, The Netherlands beginning in 1990 SEBAL is commercially applied in the U.S.A. by SEBAL-North America Mapping EvapoTranspiration with high Resolution and Internalized Calibration Allen and Tasumi, University of Idaho, Kimberly beginning in 2000 rooted in SEBAL 2000 METRIC tm is energy-balance-based ET mapping tied down and partly calibrated using ground-based reference ET (from weather data) METRIC tm is designed to work well in advective conditions of the western U.S.

3 Why Energy balance? ET is calculated as a residual of the energy balance Rn (radiation from sun and sky) H (heat to air) ET Basic Truth: Evaporation consumes Energy ET = R - G - H n G (heat to ground) The energy balance includes all major sources (R n ) and consumers (ET, G, H) of energy

4 Energy balance gives us actual ET Therefore, we can account for impacts on ET caused by: water shortage disease crop variety planting density cropping dates salinity management (these effects can be converted directly into a crop coefficient)

24 ERDAS Imagine Image Processing and Modeling System

25 METRIC Energy Balance METRIC is a sort of hybrid between pure remotelysensed energy balance and weather-based ET methods Combines the strengths of energy balance from satellite and accuracy of ground-based reference ET calculation: satellite-based energy balance provides the spatial information and distribution of available energy and sensible heat fluxes over a large area (and does most of the heavy lifting ) reference ET calculation anchors the energy balance surface and provides reality to the product.

26 Weather Data In METRIC, Weather Data are used for: Wind speed for sensible heat flux calculation Reference ET for Calibrating the Cold Pixel Reference ET to Extrapolate ET over: 24-hour period Days between Images

27 Weather Data from USBR AgriMet In METRIC tm applications, Alfalfa Reference ET r is computed using the hourly ASCE Standardized Penman-Monteith Equation

28 Sensible Heat Flux (H) H = (ρ c p dt) / r ah dt = floating near surface temperature difference (K). r ah = the aerodynamic resistance to heat transport (s/m). r ah = ln z z 2 ns Ψ u * h( z k ) + Ψ h( 2 z 1 ) z 2 z 1 dt r ah H u * = friction velocity k = von karmon constant (0.41)

29 Aerodynamic Equations used in METRIC tm H = ( ρ c p )(T a1 T a1 ) / r ah r Ψ ah = Ψ Ψ z ln z 2 ns Ψ u * h( z k ) + Ψ h( 2 z 1 ) u * = T a1 T a2 = f (T s ) ln 200 z 0m u 200 k Ψ Correction for atmospheric instability h 1 + = 2ln ( z2 ) x 2 ( z 2 2 ) 2 1+ x( 200m) 1 x 200m 2ln ln + ( ) = + 2ARCTAN x( 200m) 2 2 Ψ h ( z2 ) = z L 5 2 m( 200m) ( ) 0. 5π m + ( 200m) m ( 200m) = z L 5 2 and x ( height) ( height) = 1 16 L 3 T0 L Cpairu = ρ air * k g H for stable

30 Near Surface Temperature Difference (dt) To compute the sensible heat flux (H), define near surface temperature difference (dt) for each pixel z 2 z 1 dt r ah H Classical: dt = T surface T air SEBAL/METRIC: dt = T z1 T z2 T air is unknown and unneeded SEBAL and METRIC tm assume a linear relationship between T s and dt: dt = b + at s T s is used only as an index and can have large bias and does not need to represent aerodynamic surface temperature

31 METRIC tm -ERDAS submodel for sensible heat and ETrF

32 How METRIC tm is Trained METRIC tm is trained for each image by defining dt at the 2 anchor pixels: At the cold pixel: H cold = R n G -LE cold where LE cold = 1.05 λ ET r dt cold = H cold r ah / (ρ c p ) (in classical SEBAL, H cold = ~0 and T cold ~ T s is for water) At the hot pixel: H hot = R n G -LE hot where LE hot ~ 0 (if indicated by water balance) dt hot = H hot r ah / (ρ c p ) ( 1.05 is reduced and estimated as f(ndvi) during winter, etc.)

33 Hot Pixel Samples from an Agricultural Area SEBAL / METRIC Cold Pixel

34 ET r F at the Hot pixel: (is it really zero?): The operator must direct METRIC concerning any residual ET at the hot pixel. ET r F can be estimated using the FAO-56 surface evaporation estimation procedure Bare soil water balance, MRG, /1/2002 2/1/2002 3/1/2002 4/1/2002 5/1/2002 6/1/2002 7/1/2002 Kc based on ETr 8/1/2002 9/1/ /1/ /1/ /1/ Precipitation (mm)

80 METRIC with MODIS

81 Landsat5: 8/31/2003 MODIS: 8/31/2003 (57 o ) ET r F= 0.40 std.dev.= 0.36 ET r F= 0.46 std.dev.= 0.20 MODIS: 8/9/2004 (2 o ) ET ET r F = ETrF ET r ET r F= 0.37 std.dev.= 0.25 ET r F by METRIC

82 MODIS: 8/31/2003, Level2 5min LST Level 2 5min LST represents a daily instantaneous LST image. White locations are missing LST due to missing thermal emissivity due to mis-categorization of pixel as a cloud near irrigated/desert boundaries. Daily LST products have these fall-outs also, but the number of the holes is less, primarily because of the smearing effect of resampling. Currently, METRIC uses Level 1 radiance (using calibration of LST vs. radiance by regression of good pixels in LST image). Level 3 8-day LST may also be useable

83 Another problem with MODIS Sensors: Band 5 (2 nd NIR) has been having striped output. Stripes are present in all Level 1 3 products. This problem has been reported for many bands as known issues. MODIS: 8/29/2003~8day MODIS: 8/9/2004 (2 o ) These two images false color using Bands Solution: Omit band 5 from albedo computations.
