Empirical two-point α-mixing model for calibrating the ECH2O EC-5 soil moisture sensor in sands
Sakaki, Toshihiro; Limsuwat, Anuchit; Smits, Kathleen M.; Illangasekare, Tissa H. (Wiley; American Geophysical Union, 2008-11-18)**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Recently improved ECH2O soil moisture sensors have received significant attention in many field and laboratory applications. Focusing on the EC-5 sensor, a simple ... -
An evaluation of models of bare soil evaporation formulated with different land surface boundary conditions and assumptions
Smits, Kathleen M.; Ngo, Viet V.; Cihan, Abdullah; Sakaki, Toshihiro; Illangasekare, Tissa H. (Wiley; American Geophysical Union, 2012-12-22)**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Bare soil evaporation is a key process for water exchange between the land and the atmosphere and an important component of the water balance. However, there is no ... -
Evaporation from soils under thermal boundary conditions: Experimental and modeling investigation to compare equilibrium- and nonequilibrium-based approaches
Smits, Kathleen M.; Cihan, Abdullah; Sakaki, Toshihiro; Illangasekare, Tissa H. (Wiley; American Geophysical Union, 2011-05-27)**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: In the shallow subsurface immediately below the land-atmosphere interface, it is widely recognized that the movement of water vapor is closely coupled to thermal ... -
Sensible Heat Balance and Heat-Pulse Method Applicability to In Situ Soil-Water Evaporation
Trautz, Andrew C.; Smits, Kathleen M.; Schulte, Paul; Illangasekare, Tissa H. (Soil Science Society of America; Geological Society of America; Wiley Open Access, 2013-12-19)**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: A combined heat-pulse and sensible heat balance method can be used to determine evaporation using temperature measurements and thermal property estimations.
