Dr. Farhadi gave an invited talk on “coupled estimation of evapotranspiration and recharge from remotely sensed measurements of soil moisture and land surface temperature.” PhD students Abedeh and Parisa gave talks on “Mapping Evapotranspiration by Assimilating GOES LST and SMAP data” and “A Reduced-Adjoint Variational Data Assimilation for Estimating Soil Moisture Profile.”
