An Evaluation of the Impact of Seasonal Land Cover Change on Evapotranspiration Estimates at the Catchment Scale in the Upper Gundar River Basin, Tamil Nadu, India
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Changes in the water cycle influence the energy balance of the Earth. The water cycle is represented using the water balance equation, in which Evapotranspiration (ET) is a vital parameter. One of the main drivers of the change in ET within a specific area is the change in land cover. This study focuses on estimating ET across the Upper Gundar River Basin located in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Notable features of this landscape include agriculture throughout the year supported using an extensive network of tanks and borewells, and the presence of Prosopis juliflora, a widely prevalent invasive species known to consume groundwater and moisture. Due to the lack of spatial variability in point ET measurements, ET models using remote sensing imagery as the main forcing data have been widely used to assess the spatial variability and temporal variability based on the principle of surface energy balance. These models are collectively referred to as Surface Energy Balance (SEB) models. The model used in our study is the Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land (SEBAL) model to estimate ET for two periods of the year, indicating mid-summer and the end of the northeast monsoon for the years 2006, 2014 and 2021. Since land cover changes drive ET, land cover classification and seasonal change detection are also performed for the same time periods. Imagery from Landsat satellites is used, and one image is chosen to represent the specific season. The major land cover classes chosen in our study are water, pre-growth, agriculture, Prosopis juliflora (prosopis), barren land, and exposed soil. Along with the Landsat imagery, to run SEBAL, Aster DEM is used along with in-situ weather data and GLDAS data. \nOver 90% levels of overall accuracy were achieved for all year-season combinations for the land cover classification. Using SEBAL, Actual Evapotranspiration (ETa) for all the classes is calculated except the water classes. Due to the lack of in-situ measurements, an intermodal comparison was performed with the EEFlux product available at the same resolution derived using the METRIC algorithm using land cover classes as units of comparison. The comparisons are carried out using correlation coefficient (r), root mean squared error (RMSE), and mean values. Highest mean values were observed for either the agriculture or prosopis class, and the lowest mean value was exhibited by the exposed soil class on all occasions. Within all summers, considering all the years, the average correlation coefficient and RMSE were 0.8, 1.2 mm/day, and for monsoon, the averages were 0.5 and 0.85 mm/day, indicating increased proximity during the monsoon season between SEBAL and EEFlux. Similarly, the range of mean values between classes in summer is 2.12 mm/day, 1.36 mm/day in the monsoon. In terms of the energy fluxes used to determine ETa, a decrease in monsoon is observed for soil heat flux (G), instantaneous net radiant energy (Rn_inst), and net radiation in a day (Rn_24). For sensible heat flux (H), classes with vegetation tend to have lower values in comparison to the classes without vegetation. Finally, average water outflux is calculated encompassing all classes by multiplying the area of a class with mean ETa, and the values observed in summer and monsoon alternatively for the years 2006, 2014, and 2021 in m3/day are 5,142,212, 3,534,906, 2,954,897, 4,046,322, 5,369,191, 4,512,596.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
