Abstract

Aims

Quantitative characterization of the time-lag effect between canopy temperature and atmospheric temperature and its controlling factors in the agricultural ecosystem may contribute to a higher inversion accuracy of soil water content using canopy-air temperature information.

Methods

Tc of winter wheat were continuously monitored, and the data of such environmental factors as solar radiation (Rs), atmospheric temperature (Ta), relative humidity (RH) and soil water content (SWC) were simultaneously collected.

Results

Hysteresis existed between Tc and Ta over the diel cycles, and different weather and irrigation levels did not change the direction of the time lag loop. the key driver regulating the diel hysteresis pattern between Tc and Ta varied under different weather: on rainy days, key driver was Rs while on cloudy and sunny days, the key driver was RH. the multiple regression model indicated that together Rs, Ta, RH, and SWC explained 58 ± 10% of the variation of time-lag effect. Path analysis showed on rainy days the key driver (Rs and RH) could enhance the time-lag effect through other indirect factors (Ta and SWC); on cloud days the key driver (RH and SWC) could inhibit the time-lag effect through other indirect factors (Ta); On sunny days this mutual inhibition was further significant.

Conclusions

These findings indicated a dynamic process of time-lag effect between Tc and Ta with different weather and different irrigation levels. This study contributes to the understanding of the time-lag effect and its driving factors and this analysis provides the basis for further improvement in monitoring crop water deficit.
