Request for Individual Consultant for Technical Assistance
Senior Expert(s) in evapotranspiration mapping by remote sensing
The Regional Center on Remote Sensing of North Africa states (CRTEAN) has received a grant from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), toward the cost of the Regional Coordination on Improved Water Resources Management and Capacity Building and it intends to apply part of the proceeds of this loan to payments under the contract for the Water/Climate sector developed within the project.
The services include training on Evapotranspiration Mapping by remote sensing using Model METRIC with three aspects:
A- Theoretical aspect:
Remote sensing in the field of ET estimation (thermal radiometers)
Energy balance and different component of radiation and flux,
model METRIC.
B- Application : The training will be done with model METRIC applied on LANDSAT images.
The calibration of model
Model processing
Comparison with calculated ET with other methods (field measurements of energy balance, water balance and meteorogical data Penman-Monteith equation).
C- Logistics with Study Materials and certificates
Support of the training (digital and paper)
Exercises
Presentations
Duration training : five (05) days in the period from 23th march to 10th April 2015.
Expected consultant’s qualifications are the following:
(1) PhD degree
(2) Crop water use and requirements : water accounting, water resources assessment, water productivity, agricultural water management,
(3) Mastery (skills) in study of surface energy balance, soil physics, calculation of ET by common method and by remote sensing different resolution
