Research applications
02
Thermal observations
Compare surface-temperature observations with modeled states.
03
Soil & vegetation sensitivity
Test parameter sensitivity, rooting assumptions, vegetation representation, and flux partitioning.
04
Crop & site transferability
Examine behavior across environments, crops, management conditions, and meteorological forcing.
05
Model comparison
Compare BAITSSS with independent ET products, field observations, and other modeling approaches.
06
Spatial performance
Examine behavior from representative points to gridded applications and heterogeneous landscapes.

Model processes and reproducible workflows
PHYSICS
Physical evapotranspiration
Radiation, resistance, soil evaporation, transpiration, and atmospheric demand are represented within the model calculations.
STATE
Water and energy balance
Water storage and surface-energy fluxes are represented through time.
EXPERIMENT
Sensitivity experiments
Controlled changes in assumptions can be compared with subsequent modeled states and fluxes.
REPRODUCIBILITY
Reproducible workflows
Project inputs, run records, checkpoints, and outputs provide records for reproducing and reviewing simulations.
03 · Independent evaluation
Model comparison and evaluation
Independent evaluation uses recorded model inputs, assumptions, versions, outputs, and comparison observations. Differences can then be examined in relation to model structure, forcing data, parameters, spatial scale, temporal scale, and measurement uncertainty.
