Retrieving total transpirable soil water in a rainfed vineyard using vine shoot growth, weather, and Sentinel-2 data by Yulin Zhang, Léo Pichon, Sébastien Roux, Anne Pellegrino, Guillaume Coulouma, Bruno Tisseyre

“…However, direct measurement of TTSW is operationally challenging, lacks spatial representativeness, and is especially complex for deep-rooted, rainfed vineyards, which dominate Mediterranean regions. This study proposes a low-cost, scalable methodology for TTSW estimation, adapting an Inverse Modeling approach to incorporate accessible data sources: vine shoot growth indices based on simple visual observations, weather data, and Sentinel-2 imagery. …”
