dc.description.abstractAccurate evapotranspiration (ET) estimation is vital for precise irrigation management. Remote sensing provides a unique method for obtaining spatial and temporal ET information. With technological advancements, several unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) thermal sensors have been developed. However, the impact of thermal sensors on ET estimation is unclear. This study evaluated the impact of different UAV thermal sensors, including Micasense Altum and Flir Duo Pro-R (FDP-R), on ET estimation using the Two Source Energy Balance (TSEB) model. A field experiment was conducted during the 2021 sorghum growing period, with irrigation treatments consisting of four different regimes: full irrigation (S1), 70 % of S1 (S2), 40 % of S1 (S3), and rainfed (S4). The results revealed no statistically significant differences between the estimated ET values using Micasense Altum and FDP-R thermal sensors. The TSEB model's performance was entirely satisfactory for full irrigation, with RMSE values of 5.63 mm for Micasense Altum and 7.17 mm for FDP-R, in 10 days. However, the accuracy deteriorated with increasing water stress, reaching 29.02 mm for Micasense Altum and 25.12 mm for FDP-R, in 10 days in rainfed plots. The study results highlight the capability of both Micasense Altum and FDP-R thermal sensors to provide comparable ET estimates, particularly under full irrigation conditions. However, the decline in accuracy with increased water stress underlines a potential limitation of the TSEB model when applied to varying irrigation regimes. These insights emphasize the importance of adjustment of TSEB input parameters such as alpha PT coefficient, resistance terms etc. and sensor technologies, particularly in water-stressed environments, to ensure accurate ET estimation. This study demonstrated the potential of high-resolution UAV thermal sensors for precision irrigation management tasks. Further studies with different thermal sensors are needed to understand this technology's benefits fully. The impact of different climate conditions on ET estimation should also be explored for accurate results.en_US
