This study assessed accuracies of MCD43A3, Global Land-Surface Satellite (GLASS) and forthcoming Multi-source Data Synergized Quantitative Remote Sensing Production system (MuSyQ) albedos using ground observations and Huan Jing (HJ) data over the Heihe River Basin. MCD43A3 and MuSyQ albedos show similar high accuracies with identical root mean square errors (RMSE). Nevertheless, MuSyQ albedo is better correlated with ground measurements when sufficient valid observations are available or snow-free. The opposite happens when less than seven valid observations are available. GLASS albedo presents a larger RMSE than MCD43A3 and MuSyQ albedos in comparison with ground measurements. Over surfaces with smaller seasonal variations, MCD43A3 and MuSyQ albedos show smaller RMSEs than GLASS albedo in comparison with HJ albedo. However, for surfaces with larger temporal variations, both RMSEs and R2 of GLASS albedo are comparable with MCD43A3 and MuSyQ. Generally, MCD43A3 and MuSyQ albedos featured the same RMSEs of 0.034 and similar R2 (0.920 and 0.903, respectively), which are better than GLASS albedo (RMSE = 0.043, R2 = 0.787). However, when it comes to comparison with aggregated HJ albedo, MuSyQ and GLASS albedos are with lower RMSEs of 0.027 and 0.032 and higher R2 of 0.900 and 0.898 respectively than MCD43A3 (RMSE = 0.038, R2 = 0.836). Despite the limited geographic region of the study area, they still provide an important insight into the accuracies of three albedo products.

Accurate quantification of evaporation loss from irrigation canals at an irrigation district scale is very useful for developing efficient irrigation strategies, particularly in water-deficient regions. The double-deck surface air layer (DSAL) model, a new aerodynamic method proposed by Kobayashi et al. (2013), is used for estimating the evaporation loss from a running water surface in irrigation canals. In this study, based on the long-term meteorological measurements made at automatic weather stations in 2013 and the field experiment conducted at - midstream areas of the Heihe River Basin (HRB), northwestern China, the DSAL model was applied to estimate the long-term evaporation loss from irrigation canals, which was the remarkable highlight of the study. The results showed that the rate of evaporation from irrigation canals exhibited a concave-up trend for the period from June to September, with higher values in June and September (20 to 50 mm day−1) and lower values in July and August (around 10 mm day−1). During the four months, for the Yingke and Daman irrigation districts in the Zhangye Oasis, the total water losses from irrigation canals due to evaporation were approximately 23.9 × 105 m3 and 36.6 × 105 m3, or 3.2% and 4.8% of the total amount of irrigation water, respectively. Results of the study are not only important for improving the irrigation water use efficiency, but also are beneficial to develop sustainable water resource management in the midstream areas of the HRB.
