Knowledge graph centered on Water balance equation with 71 nodes and 153 connections. Top connected: Spruce, Atriplex canescens, climate change, snowpack persistence, specific leaf area.
Comprehensive approach calculating potential evapotranspiration using three established methods (Thornthwaite, Hargreaves, Penman-Monteith) and actual evapotranspiration using the Budyko model. Provides robust estimates of water balance components for drought analysis.
Synthesized from method descriptions across 3 papers using this protocol.
Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Statistical framework to assess long-term spatio-temporal climate changes: East River mountainous watershed case study (2022), Stochastic environmental research and risk assessment. The protocol was originally introduced by Estimation of Evapotranspiration Rates and Root Water Uptake Profiles From Soil Moisture Sensor Array Data (2021), Water Resources Research. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.
