    Time-series clustering of remote sensing retrievals for defining management zones in a vineyard

    Management zones (MZs) are efficient for applying site-specific management in agricultural fields. This study proposes an approach for generating MZs using time-series clustering (TSC) to also enable time-spec...

    Comparison of vineyard evapotranspiration estimates from surface renewal using measured and modelled energy balance components in the GRAPEX project

    Surface renewal (SR) is a biometeorological technique that uses high frequency air temperature measurements above a crop surface to estimate sensible heat flux (H). The H derived from SR is then combined with net...
