  • The field edge flux paradox

    Creator:
    Barr, Colleen M.
    Abstract:
    Precision irrigation has made spatially explicit water management a reality. However, detailed knowledge about the spatially variable evapotranspiration is often unavailable. One example location where we can begin to understand the impact of spatial variability on evapotranspiration is at the field edge, which contains a sharp discontinuity in surface conditions....

    concentrations was developed in 1934. This analytical solution predicts a boundary layer growth in water vapor

  • Make it Rain : A Lagrangian Approach to Investigate Land Surface Controls on Moisture Recycling in the Columbia River Basin

    Creator:
    Tai, Leah Chung-Mei
    Abstract:
    Linkages between land use and its influence on the atmosphere have been a long-standing research area. For example, what is the impact of irrigated agriculture on downwind rainfall? Global-scale models show that moisture recycling is an important source of water for inland regions around the world, but they do not...

  • Lasers in the Sky : Distributed Temperature Sensing and a Micro-Meteorological Approach to Quantifying Evapotranspiration

    Creator:
    Predosa, Robert
    Abstract:
    Lower atmospheric flux measurements are a difficult subset of atmospheric data to accurately collect. The interplay of cost, precision, specialty, resolution and repeatability compound an already difficult experimental problem. In response to this, a new, novel instrumentation approach to measuring within the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is introduced. The combination...
