(2016-11-16)Drought is a natural phenomenon induced by precipitation deficiency and it impacts economy, environment and society. The drought monitoring tools include direct measurements, such as precipitation, soil moisture and ...
-
(2021-04-30)Conservation management practices such as no-till (NT) and double cropping or cover cropping are vital to food and soil security. Texas is one of the largest wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) producers in the U.S., and typical ...
-
(2022-08-01)Savannas have undergone extensive amount of woody plant encroachment (WPE) over the past two centuries. The process of WPE can substantially alter the hydrology of a landscape. However, our understanding of ecohydrology ...
-
(2023-04-21)The terrestrial carbon, energy, and water cycles are coupled through soil moisture (SM) and evapotranspiration (ET) control on gross primary productivity (GPP) thus controlling the biosphere, land-atmosphere interactions, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Soil moisture profiles were simulated for a hypothetical loamlike soil with a water and heat balance model. Expected X-band and L-band radiometer response to these conditions were simulated by a radiative transfer model. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1963)Develops a computer model in order to predict the flow of water through soil and the effect of temperature gradients upon the movement of water in soil. The model is for two-dimensional flow of moisture and temperature, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Two dimensional soil moisture flow was studied. A laboratory model 1.83 meters long and 0.13 meters wide, 1.22 meters deep at one end and 0.91 meters deep at the other end was used to generate experimental data consisting ...
-
(2013-03-06)and-atmosphere interactions are an important component of climate, especially in semi-arid regions such as the Southern Great Plains. Interactions between soil moisture and vegetation modulate land-atmosphere coupling and ...
-
(2009-05-15)The overarching goal of this dissertation project was to address several fundamental aspects of applying site-specific crop management for fiber quality in cotton production. A two-year (2005 and 2006) field study was ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Theoretical and experimental studies of the thermal microwave emission from moist soil were performed. The theoretical study was undertaken to provide a physical understanding of the emission from soil and its relationship ...
-
(American Geophysical Union, 2012)The surface energy balance algorithm for land (SEBAL) has been designed and widely used (and misused) worldwide to estimate evapotranspiration across varying spatial and temporal scales using satellite remote sensing over ...

-
(2021-07-08)Soil moisture (SM) and evapotranspiration (ET) are key climate variables governing environmental processes from local to global scales. The global burgeoning of SM and ET datasets holds a significant potential in improving ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1974)Interest in Ebenezer Cook has increased steadily, if slowly, since Moses Coit Tyler wrote an enthusiastic critique of The Sot-weed Factor in A History of American Literature, 1607-1765 in 1878. Much of that interest, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1974)Soils having a gilgai (undulating) surface present unusual management problems. Better use of a gilgai surface could be made if the user understood how the soil properties would affect his activities. The genesis of gilgai ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)Moisture content of snow-free, unfrozen soil is inferred using passive microwave brightness temperatures from the Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) on Nimbus-7. Investigation is restricted to the two ...
-
(2015-07-24)Soil moisture is vital to the climate system, as root zone soil moisture has a significant influence on evapotranspiration rates and latent and sensible heat exchange. Through the modification of moisture flux from the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Soil moisture in the shallow subsurface is a primary hydrologic state governing land-atmosphere interaction at various scales. The primary objectives of this study are to model soil moisture in the root zone in a distributed ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Some soils of the Texas coastal plain are saturated for several months of each year, but do not exhibit the low chroma colors normally associated with poor drainage. Without direct measurement of the water table levels in ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)An existing, physically based, one dimensional numerical model for soil temperature and soil water content was adapted and validated with experimental data on soil temperature in the upper 100mm of the profile. A simpler ...
