Estimating surface fluxes over middle and upper streams of the Heihe River Basin with ASTER imagery

Land surface heat fluxes are essential measures of the strengths of land-atmosphere interactions involving energy, heat and water. Correct parameterization of these fluxes in climate models is critical. Despite their importance, state-of-the-art observation techniques cannot provide representative a...
