Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of eco-hydrology, and specifically relates to a method and system for segmenting surface evapotranspiration components based on dual-source wave ratio. Background Technology
[0002] Ecosystem evapotranspiration (ET) is a core component of the terrestrial water cycle and energy exchange, involving the integrated processes of vegetation photosynthetic transpiration and surface evaporation, and characterizing the productivity and water consumption composition of an ecosystem. The classification of evapotranspiration components—namely, plant transpiration and surface evaporation—is crucial for understanding ecohydrological processes, optimizing water resource management, and improving the accuracy of land surface models. The development of global models and datasets has driven the need for simplified models for calculating evapotranspiration and its components. While some simplified evapotranspiration estimation models exist, traditional evapotranspiration segmentation models often require numerous and difficult-to-obtain input parameters, posing significant difficulties and challenges to the research and data application of terrestrial ecosystem evapotranspiration components. Therefore, a simple and accurate model for segmenting evapotranspiration is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, based on the overall ecosystem energy balance and water vapor balance frameworks, it derives and establishes quantitative relationships between the aforementioned three Bowen ratios and the segmentation factors for plant transpiration and soil evaporation in the ecosystem. Given the evapotranspiration of the ecosystem, using these segmentation factors to segment evapotranspiration yields the plant transpiration and soil evaporation of the ecosystem.
