Flow past a spur dyke on a rigid bed meandering channel with a trapezoidal cross section has been studied experimentally. An acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV) was used to measure the velocities. The results show that ...
A modified surface energy balance algorithm for land (M-SEBAL) based on a trapezoidal framework
(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 ...
