1 GRAPEX- A project to measure and model water & energy exchange

3 Context: Specialty Crop Industry in California Grapes ~ 1 million acres ( ha) Valued at ~$6 B Fruit & Nut Orchards ~ 2.6 million acres ( ha) Valued at ~$10 B ~80% of fresh water used for irrigation

4 GRAPEX Goal GRAPEX goal: to apply a multi-scale remote sensing evapotranspiration (ET) toolkit for improved irrigation scheduling and water management in vineyards in California, a region of endemic periodic drought. While this work focus on vineyards, the tools apply to fruit and nut orchards and other crops with highlystructured canopies.

5 Monitoring Water Use in U.S. Vineyards Current Operational ET Estimates for Irrigation Scheduling ET = K c (ET 0 ) Crop Coefficient (~ NDVI) Reference ET

6 Controlling Vine & Berry Development via Irrigation Irrigation Scheduling in Viticulture

7 Approaches for Monitoring ET

8 Overview of Data Fusion Approach for Obtaining daily ET

9 A Multi-Scale Modeling framework for TSEB GOES - West Developing a Multi-Scale Modeling Framework to Bridge from Field to Continental, Daily to Seasonal/Annual NOAA Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites Low ET High ET Landsat Landsat Aircraft

10 GRAPEX Study in U.S. Vineyards The measurements were collected in two vineyards located approximately 32 km (~20 mi) northeast of Lodi, CA (38.29 N, W). East-West Rows spaced ~3.3 m (11 ft). Vines spaced ~1.5 m (5 ft). North Vineyard (site 1): ~ 34.4 ha (85 ac). Mature vines. South Vineyard (site 2): ~21 ha (52 acre). Young vines. GRAPEX Study site North Vineyard (site 1) South Vineyard (site 2)

11 Bare soil, cover crop & vine canopy: 3 sources GRAPEX Study site

13 GRAPEX Episodic Measurements GRAPEX Measurements During IOPs Below canopy wind & water vapor turbulence Spectral & LAI Canopy T & CO2 Aircraft/UAV based high resolution Vis/NIR and thermal-ir UAV solar radiation divergence Tower-based Thermal/Optical Scanner Scintillometry

14 GRAPEX Episodic Measurements Additional GRAPEX Measurements During IOPs IRT sensor network Leaf & Canopy Hyperspectral Micro-Bowen ratio systems

15 GRAPEX Intensive Observation Periods (IOPs) IOP 1 ~April/May LAI ~ 0.5 to 2 LAI ~ 0.5 to 2 GRAPEX IOPs IOP 2 ~June/July LAI ~ 1.5 North Vineyard LAI ~ 1 South Vineyard IOP 3 ~August LAI ~ 2 LAI ~ 1.5 IOP 1 Flowering IOP 2 Fruit Set/Veraison IOP 3 Veraison

19 Modification of radiation extinction for vine canopy architecture Measurements Model validation Radiation Modeling in Vineyards Refined radiation algorithm

20 Modeling Below Canopy Winds in Vineyards Modification of wind profile in the canopy air space for vine canopy for canopy architecture Original wind extinction algorithm Revised wind extinction algorithm

21 TSEB-derived ET and T Using UAV Imagery ET ET ET T T T

22 Shadow Detection Algorithm GRAPEX UAV Shadow Detection True Color Image Shadowed areas highlighted = shadowed pixels Impacts of Shadows on Surface Energy Balance

23 PhoDAR (LIDAR-like) data GRAPEX UAV canopy Volume Automatic soil / vegetation discrimination, canopy volume relate to yield

26 Water Balance Estimated Root Zone Soil Moisture Assimilated versus Non-Assimilated with ET Data Fusion Non Assim Early June Assim Non Assim Mid July Assim

27 Preliminary Conclusions from GRAPEX Crop coefficient-based techniques have limited utility for estimating ET and stress in vineyards. Conclusions The TSEB land surface scheme combined with the multi-scale ALEXI/DisALEXI/Data Fusion approach is providing reliable daily ET and is being used to assess seasonal water use and impacts on yield and detect ET anomalies Refinements to TSEB model parameterizations for unique canopy structure, architecture and row spacing/orientation using the data collected from GRAPEX is improving model performance. Very high resolution imagery from UAVs can provide valuable information on landscape features and vine conditions not detectable at satellite resolutions. Combining water balance and energy balance modeling approaches via data assimilation has the potential of providing more reliable spatial mapping of root zone soil moisture at 30 m resolution

28 Expanding GRAPEX Study Sites GRAPEX Sites Expanded: to New Climate Zones & Varieties
