Estimating reservoir evaporation losses for the United States: Fusing remote sensing and modeling approaches
Gang Zhao, Huilin Gao · Remote Sensing of Environment (2019)
Key finding (our summary)
Fuses satellite remote sensing with modelling to estimate evaporation losses across United States reservoirs, quantifying how much stored water is lost to the atmosphere at national scale.
Combining remote sensing with physical models lets evaporation be mapped consistently across thousands of reservoirs without per-site instrumentation.
