This study provides preliminary results from combining in situ Bowen ratio energy balance (BREB) and
evapotranspiration (ET) measurements techniques with physically based remote sensing ET estimates determined
by the Atmosphere-Land Exchange Inverse (ALEXI) model. Evapotranspiration measurements
and ALEXI estimates were analysed in an agricultural area close to Polkovice, Czech Republic during 2015,
when a drought spell and intensive heatwaves appeared in the country. The BREB system was monitoring a
winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) field (~26 ha) while the ALEXI pixel (~5 km resolution) covered a wide
range of crops, including mainly winter wheat, spring barley, and winter rape. The study results showed that,
although the applied methods work at different spatial scales (field vs. landscape), their combination can provide
further insights into ET at both scales. For instance, such approach can be used to identify whether a specific
ecosystem investigated in situ contributes to cooling or warming of the landscape.
