| Abstract | ET for large area with different land covers were estimated by evaluating energy balance components for each land use, using numerical model of energy balance which includes differential equations of wind velocity, specific air humidity, potential air temperature, soil temperature and soil moisture. Remotely observed surface temperatures were used to modify the parameters used within the model. The inputs for this model are direct and diffused solar radiation, solar elevation, long wave radiation, surface temperature, ground moisture, crop transpiration resistance, leaf area index, crop canopy architecture, wind velocity, air temperature and relative humidity at surface and at boundary height. The extinction of solar radiation intensity as it passes the land cover canopy is estimated by treating the plant canopy as a single ‘big leaf’. As for the upper boundary of this system, constant values of wind velocity, potential air temperature, and specific humidity were used at the height of 100 m above ground surface. The lower boundary was taken at 0.5 m depth under ground surface. This technique is applied for conducting numerical experiment to estimate ET temporal and spatial distribution over different land uses at the area of Cidanau watershed, Banten, Indonesia. Land utilizations at the study location are artificial surface, paddy field, bare soil and forest. In this study, evapotranspiration estimated in artificial surface, bare soil, paddy field and forest are 0, 4.5, 5 and 6 mm/day respectively. |
