A model for estimating transpiration from remotely sensed solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence

Terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) is an important flux that links global cycles of carbon, water and energy and is largely driven by transpiration (T) through leaf stomata in vegetated areas during the growing season. ET, however, remains one of the most uncertain hydrological variables at the global scale. In this study, we proposed a semi-mechanistic model for estimating terrestrial T by deriving an analytical solution between solar-induced …
