Suppressed convective rainfall by agricultural expansion in southeastern Burkina Faso

Marc Parlange, Natalie Claire Ceperley, Gabriel George Katul, Theophile Mande, Scott W. Tyler

With the green economy being promoted as a path to sustainable development and food security within the African continent, the influx of agricultural land is proliferating at a rapid pace often replacing natural savannah forests. Where agriculture is prima ...

Evaporation from a shallow water table: Diurnal dynamics of water and heat at the surface of drying sand

Marc Parlange, Ivan Lunati, Chad Higgins, Scott W. Tyler

Accurate estimates of water losses by evaporation from shallow water tables are important for hydrological, agricultural, and climatic purposes. An experiment was conducted in a weighing lysimeter to characterize the diurnal dynamics of evaporation under n ...

Carbon monoxide as a tracer of gas transport in snow and other natural porous media

Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Marc Parlange, Marc Calaf Bracons, Nicolaas Cornelis van de Giesen, Scott W. Tyler

The movement of air in natural porous media is complex and challenging to measure. Yet gas transport has important implications, for instance, for the evolution of the seasonal snow cover and for water vapor transport in soil. A novel in situ multi-sensor ...

On the Diurnal Soil Water Content Dynamics during Evaporation using Dielectric Methods

Marc Parlange, Ivan Lunati, Scott W. Tyler

The water content dynamics in the upper soil surface during evaporation is a key element in land–atmosphere exchanges. Previous experimental studies have suggested that the soil water content increases at the depth of 5 to 15 cm below the soil surface duri ...

Evaporation from three water bodies of diﬀerent sizes and climates: Measurements and scaling analysis

Marc Parlange, Shirit Cohen, Gabriel George Katul, Scott W. Tyler

Evaporation from small reservoirs, wetlands, and lakes continues to be a theoretical and practical problem in surface hydrology and micrometeorology because atmospheric ﬂows above such systems can rarely be approximated as stationary and planar-homogeneous ...
