WP3. Linking Soil Properties, Soil Moisture, and Evapotranspiration

Become a high-skilled geospatial professional

Lead: Nunzio Romano (Uni. Naples)
Participate: Uni. Twente, UPV, SLU

This WP concerns the retrieval of field/grid specific scaling functions (task 3.1) and their generalization (task 3.2). 

Task 3.1 Field/grid specific scaling functions between soil moisture and evapotranspiration: 

Figure. (a) Koeppen–Geiger climate classifications across the WaPOR domain of the Africa and the Middle-East; (b) Mean Actual Evapotranspiration (AET) versus root zone relative soil moisture (i.e., saturation degree) stratified by the Koeppen–Geiger climate classifications (Su et al. 2020, Water).

Task 3.2 Generalizing scaling functions between soil moisture and evapotranspiration

Figure. The coupled STEMMUS-SCOPE model will be applied over iAqueduct study sites, the output of which will be used for generalizing the scaling function (Wang, et al. 2021, GMD).
