Status on Monthly and Annual Evapotranspiration Maps for the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer – year 2006 Rick Allen and Magali Garcia, UI Tony Morse and Bill Kramber, IDWR
Background • UI and IDWR has successfully produced METRIC-based Evapotranspiration (ET) maps to ESPA for 2000, parts of 2002 and parts of 2003 • 2002 and 2006 are in progress • monthly and seasonal maps for actual ET • 30 m x 30 m grid scale.
Background • METRIC ET maps are a valuable component of ESPA ground-water model calibration: • actual magnitudes of ET from the ESPA • (used to calibrate Kc ETr methods) • spatial and time distribution of ET from the ESPA • recharge incident to canal-supplied irrigation projects on the ESPA.
Status for 2007-2008 • Produce ET monthly and seasonal ET maps for the ESPA for • Year 2006 (UI-Kimberly) • Year 2002 (IDWR) • Coverage: All of the ESPA • Path 39 (two rows from Utah to MT) • Path 40 (two rows from Utah to MT)
2006 Path 39 Path 40
Purpose • support water consumption monitoring work by IDWR • support estimation of recharge and depletion for ESPA ground-water model calibration and operation • document ET before reductions from CREP set aside and other mitigation activities • document ET for water leasing/buy-outs • refine current crop coefficient methods and curves

Status of Thermal on L8: • May 5, 2008 (yesterday) • Letter signed by 12 US Senators (incl. Crapo) to Senate Appropriations Committee: • (Projected launch date of ‘Landsat 8’: 2011-12)
Future: Free Landsat Images from USGS-EROS DataAvailable over the Internet Landsat 7 – all new global acquisitions-July 2008 Landsat 7 – all data-September 2008 Landsat 5 – all TM data-December 2008 Landsat 4 – all TM data-January 2009 Landsat 1-5 – all MSS data-January 2009 • Good news:Terrain-corrected • Bad news: Resampled using Cubic Convolution (instead of Nearest Neighbor) • (120 m thermal pixels of L5 may not be able to be sharpened, since they can not be identified)
Potential METRIC Processing (both paths) • 1984 - too sparse 1985 - too sparse - could be used for NDVI assessment of irrig. areas 1986 - candidate for METRIC for both paths 1987 - not as populated as 1986, but possible for METRIC 1988 - no April-May for METRIC on path 40 1989 - no Sept-Oct for METRIC on path 40, poor on path 39 1990 - possible METRIC on 40, not on 39 1991 - no 1992 - possible METRIC for 40 and 39 1993 - possible for METRIC, no April-May on 39 1994 - no May-June for METRIC path 40 1995 - no 1996 - yes for METRIC on both paths 1997 - yes, iffy METRIC for June-July on 39 1998 - no May for METRIC on 40 and 39 1999 - no for METRIC in spring2000 - yes (METRIC DONE) 2001 - yes for METRIC on both paths 2002 - yes (METRIC in Progress)2003 - iffy on for METRIC for both paths (DONE for path 40 through August (no images after that)) 2004 - yes for METRIC on both paths 2005 - iffy for METRIC 2006 - yes (METRIC in Progress)2007 – possible, but challenging for METRIC on path 40
Beyond METRIC • Develop Vegetation Index based ET • high resolution using • Aster, EO-1, SPOT, IRS, CBERS • moderate resolution using MODIS (250 m) • Requirements • Crop Classification of Landsat images • METRIC ET maps for a series of years
Assess accuracies ‘actual’ ET observed from METRIC map vs. ET estimated using NDVI relationship
Current work • Sharpening Landsat 5 ET images • ET by METRIC using MODIS • (finessing the gorilla)
Sharpening of 120 m surface temperature (Ts) of Landsat 5 to 30 m using NDVI • trained using Ts for wet/cold (high NDVI) and hot/dry (low NDVI) extremes • applied with no net bias to original 120 m Ts • internal biases are apportioned according to NDVI and limits. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) at 30 m METRIC ET map at 120 m
