Went outside a little before 6PM when it was still 92F. It was pretty easy to find ground and vegetation temps in the mid to low 70s in our unirrigated yard. So how much plant and soil moisture are we losing in this heat dome?

#evapotranspiration

Better water use in agriculture starts with better data. In Pakistan, IWMI is validating satellite #evapotranspiration with ground measurements to improve irrigation, enable smarter water allocation, and strengthen climate resilience for farmers and policymakers. 💧

Various resources on Evapotranspiration, as we treat it Following our session on Evapotranspiration, I am listing some relevant resources beyond what we have already shared. Videos from previous GEOframe Schools are available here, and recordings from this year's school will be posted soon. ## Core Reading The most mature presentation of the theory, particularly for the latter part, is D'Amato and Rigon (2025a). A brief Claude-generated summary is available here. The paper addresses more complex cases than those presented at the School, but the first part—the big leaf model—is complete and clear. For a more extensive treatment of this material, I recommend starting with the theses by Michele Bottazzi and Concetta D'Amato. --- https://water.usgs.gov/edu/gallery/evaporation-fog.html ## The Resistance Model for ET An explanation of the resistance model for evapotranspiration can be found in The Marvelous Physics of Plants, beginning at slide 33. Unfortunately, the accompanying video is in Italian. ## Differentiating Soil Behavior from Transpiration Further lectures covering the differentiation of soil behavior from transpiration are available in the BACI course materials. The advantage of this resource is that the blog page contains step-by-step references to Bottazzi's thesis. ## For Those Who Want to Go Deeper The tool to use is GEOSPACE, which is fully documented in Concetta D'Amato's thesis and in D'Amato et al. (2025b). A Claude-generated summary of this paper is also available on the shared page. ## References * Bottazzi, M. 2020. “Transpiration Theory and the Prospero Component of GEOframe.” Supervisors: Rigon and G.

These atmospheric rivers first drop rain on the eastern part of the Amazon, close to the Atlantic. The water then rises again into the air, from the ground & vegetation (through #evapotranspiration), and moves further west before falling on another patch of the rainforest

All of that to say, @scoopsstp.bsky.social and others following along in the Twin Cities: corn sweat possibly has a long term impact on dew point, but more research needed? Any meteorologists (etc) wanna weigh in on this one?

Corn sweat, you sweat, we all sweat when corn sweat. USDA studies indicate that a single acre of corn can release thousands of gallons of water into the air over a couple of days.

Evapotranspiration - Wikipedia

In #Duvall, we have these "natural growth protection areas" in town, about half a city block, filled with wild shrubs, plants, trees, etc

On a hot, slightly windy day, you feel temperature drop as you go by because of shade but also because of #Evapotranspiration

"the 3.2% mean reduction in forest cover that occurred in Rondônia & Mato Grosso during 2002–2015 caused a 3.5 ± 0.8% reduction in #evapotranspiration and a 5.4 ± 4.4% reduction in #precipitation."
"substantial reductions in dry season precipitation due to recent forest cover change in the #Amazon,"

Visual with a scenic background of a lush green mountain valley and snow-capped peaks under a blue sky. Overlaid text reads: 'Happy Arbor Day from the Integrated GroundWater Modeling Center (IGWMC)' with the IGWMC logo. Below, it explains how trees and plants contribute to the hydrological cycle through evapotranspiration, which includes evaporation from surfaces and transpiration from leaves. The text highlights how trees help move water into the atmosphere, forming clouds, regulating temperatures, and influencing precipitation. It ends by stating that planting trees supports the water cycle. Photo credit: Harry Stone, graduate student.

This Arbor Day, shout out to trees for powering the water cycle! 🌳
Through evapotranspiration, they move water from soil to sky, shaping local climate and rainfall.
Hydrology isn’t just rivers—it’s forests too! 💧☁️

Nice paper ! We are looking for info on the uncertainties of #ECMWF forecast/analysis products for daily downward irradiances (shortwave and longwave), to estmate #evapoTranspiration from thermai infrared space sensors such as #TRISHNA and #LSTM. Any references or contact point would be useful 🙏

How new research and satellites may be able to help drought in the West Scientists from the Desert Research Institute used a platform called OpenET to monitor water use at agricultural fields in Nevada and Oregon.

DRI's Thomas Ott is using @OpenETdata satellite technology to measure water usage in agriculture. This new research measures #evapotranspiration and could help cut down water usage in this time of prolonged drought. Listen to his KJZZ Phoenix interview: bit.ly/driottopenet
