title = "Evaluation of Energy Balance, Combination, and Complementary schemes for estimation of evaporation",
abstract = "A comparison between three basic techniques for estimation of actual evapotranspiration, namely: the Energy Balance, the Combination, and the Complementary approaches, is undertaken. We utilize Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory (MOST) as a framework for the energy balance method, the single-layer Penman-Monteith method for the combination approach, and the Advection-Aridity method as the complementary approach. Data from three flux tower stations are used to evaluate model estimated heat fluxes at short time steps. The results indicate advantages and/or limitations of each method under different conditions, highlighting issues in application of the Advection-Aridity technique in dry conditions and energy balance methods over sparse canopies.",
