Assessing FAO-56 dual crop coefficients using eddy covariance flux partitioning

Current approaches to scheduling crop irrigation using reference evapotranspiration (ET0) recommend using a dual-coefficient approach using basal (Kcb) and soil (Ke) coefficients along with a stress coefficient (Ks) to model crop evapotranspiration (ETc), [e.g. ETc = (Ks*Kcb + Ke)*ET0]. However, determining Ks, Kcb, and Ke from the combined evapotranspiration (ET) is challenging, particularly for Ke, and a new method is needed to more rapidly...
