Changes in heat energy stored within a column of wetland surface water can be considerable component the budget, an attribute that is demonstrated by comparing changes to net radiation at seven sites areas southern Florida, including Everglades. The magnitude approached more often during winter dry season than summer wet season. Furthermore, generally decreased as budgets were upscaled temporally. A new method was developed estimate overcomes important data limitation, namely, limited...

Abstract Peat soils store a large fraction of the global soil carbon (C) pool and comprise 95% wetland C stocks. While isolated freshwater wetlands in temperate tropical biomes account for more than 20% peatland stock, most studies have occurred expansive peatlands northern boreal subarctic biomes. Furthermore, contribution small depressional comparison to larger systems these environments is very uncertain. Given fact that are numerous variable terms their internal geometry, innovative...

This paper reviews and summarizes the continued development of satellite-based estimates insolation (incoming solar radiation), reference evapotranspiration (RET), potential (PET), computed for State Florida at 2-km resolution period from June 1, 1995, to December 31, 2015, which spans over 20 years. Insolation is a primary driver in Florida. maps generated Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) imagery were used compute PET RET, calibrated ground-based pyranometers....

Access to the evapotranspiration (ET) monitoring site was arranged by Christian Bethman, Superintendent of Brendan T. Byrne State Forest, whose assistance in clearing and providing road improvements

The design of infiltration basins used to dispose treated wastewater or for aquifer recharge often requires estimation ground-water mounding beneath the basin. However, effect that unsaturated zone has on water-table response basin been overlooked in this estimation. A comparison was made between two methods estimate mounding—an analytical approach is limited saturated and a numerical incorporates both zones. Results indicate error introduced by method ignores effects increases as...

ABSTRACT: Evapotranspiration (ET) approximations, usually based on computed potential ET (PET) and diverse PET‐to‐ET conceptualizations, are routinely used in hydrologic analyses. This study presents an approach to incorporate measured (actual) data, increasingly available using micrometeorological methods, define the adequacy of approximations for simulation. The is demonstrated at a site where eddy correlation‐measured values were available. A baseline model incorporating was evaluate...

Potential evapotranspiration (PET) and reference (RET) data are usually critical components of hydrologic analysis. Many different equations available to estimate PET RET. Most these equations, such as the Priestley-Taylor Penman- Monteith methods, rely on detailed meteorological collected at ground-based weather stations. Few stations collect enough or RET using one more complex equations. Currently, satellite integrated with ground used accurately However, earlier than last few decades,...

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release consists of daily evapotranspiration (ET) measurements/estimates for the time period January 29, 2009 to September 27, 2012. These are derived from measurements actual ET conducted at a height 73 meters on University Central Florida WUCF 89.9 radio tower. The station is located nearly flat site (28 degrees 35 minutes 27 seconds North / 081 12 17 West) within Orange County, Florida. surrounding landscape composed (2009 Land cover and land use,...

Field experiments were conducted to examine nutrient transport and transformation beneath an infiltration basin used for the disposal of treated wastewater. Removal nitrogen from infiltrating water by denitrification was negligible basin, probably because subsurface aeration as a result daily interruptions in loading. Retention organic upper 4.6 m unsaturated zone (water table depth approximately 11 m) during loading resulted concentrations nitrate much 10 times that applied wastewater,...
