Technical Abstract: Over the last several years a two-source (soil + vegetation) energy balance modeling scheme has been developed and tested using either microwave-derived soil moisture or radiometric surface temperature as the key surface boundary condition. A modeling framework is explored which incorporates algorithms from both two-source schemes in an attempt to better constrain flux predictions from the soil and vegetation. An overvie of the modeling framework is presented, and its utility evaluated with microwave and radiometric surface temperature observations collected during the 1997 Southern Great Plains experiment (SGP97) conducted in Oklahoma, USA.
