Their application is however limited to highly heterogeneous areas where the soil and vegetation temperature endmembers (Tends) can be observed at the thermal sensor resolution. This paper aims to develop a simple theoretical approach to estimate Tends independently from LST images. Soil Tends are simulated by a soil energy balance model forced by meteorological data. Vegetation Tends are obtained from soil Tends and air temperature. Model-derived soil Tends are first evaluated with in situ measurements made over an irrigated area in Morocco. The root mean square difference (RMSD) between modeled and ground-based soil Tends is estimated as 2.4 \u00baC. Model-derived soil Tends are next compared with the soil Tends retrieved from 90-m resolution ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) data collected over two irrigated areas in Mexico and Spain. Such a comparison reveals a strong consistency between model-derived and high-resolution image-based soil Tends. A recent contextual ET model (SEB-1S) is then applied to 90-m resolution and to 1-km resolution (aggregated) ASTER data using the model-derived or image-based Tends as the input. The RMSD between 90-m resolution SEB-1S and in situ ET is estimated as 65 and 82 W\u00b7m-2, and the RMSD between 1-km resolution SEB-1S and aggregated SEB-1S ET is estimated as 78 and 56 W\u00b7m-2, for the image-based and model-derived Tends, respectively. In light of the above results, Tends should be estimated a priori when contextual models are applied to low resolution images. Moreover, the consistency over highly heterogeneous areas between model-derived and high-resolution image-based Tends provides a meaningful basis for developing mixed modeling observational approaches.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs70810444","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,18]],"date-time":"2015-08-18T02:36:16Z","timestamp":1439865376000},"page":"10444-10479","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":52,"title":["Consistency between In Situ, Model-Derived and High-Resolution-Image-Based Soil Temperature Endmembers: Towards a Robust Data-Based Model for Multi-Resolution Monitoring of Crop Evapotranspiration"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Vivien","family":"Stefan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre d'Etudes Spatiales de la Biosph\u00e8re (CESBIO), 18 avenue Edouard Belin, Toulouse 31401, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3309-9935","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olivier","family":"Merlin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre d'Etudes Spatiales de la Biosph\u00e8re (CESBIO), 18 avenue Edouard Belin, Toulouse 31401, France"},{"name":"Facult\u00e9 des Sciences Semlalia Marrakech (FSSM), Universit\u00e9 Cadi Ayyad, Avenue Prince Moulay Abdellah, BP 2390, Marrakech 40000, Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8595-7949","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salah","family":"Er-Raki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facult\u00e9 des Sciences et Techniques (FST), Universit\u00e9 Cadi Ayyad, Avenue Abdelkarim Khettabi, BP 549, Marrakech 40000, Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7780-7334","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria-Jos\u00e9","family":"Escorihuela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SAT, Parc Tecnologic BCNord, Marie Curie 8-14, Barcelona 08042, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Said","family":"Khabba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facult\u00e9 des Sciences Semlalia Marrakech (FSSM), Universit\u00e9 Cadi Ayyad, Avenue Prince Moulay Abdellah, BP 2390, Marrakech 40000, Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Garrido, A., Llamas, M., Varela-Ortega, C., Novo, P., Rodgriguez-Casado, R., and Aldaya, M.
