Upscaling of evapotranspiration fluxes from instantaneous to daytime scales for thermal remote sensing applications

Four upscaling methods for estimating daytime actual evapotranspiration (ET) from single time-of-day snapshots, as commonly retrieved using remote sensing, were compared. These methods assume self-preservation of the ratio between ET and a given reference variable over the daytime hours. The analysi...
