Resource Abstract:
- description: This dataset includes 1km resolution monthly timescale estimates of evapotranspiration (ET) for the 2000-2015
timespan. These new SSEBop-WB estimates were developed by combining a previously published long-term annual average evapotranspiration
map based on water balance constraints with the SSEBop remote sensing ET product (see Associated Items). The combination aims
to leverage the advantages of each approach in gaining both the temporal resolution of remote sensing data and the long-term
magnitude constraints of ground-based data. This data release also includes other supporting data associated with the publication
of these estimation methods in a concurrent journal article. Analyses in the journal article included comparisons between
SSEBop ET, the MOD16 remote sensing ET product, and the new SSEBop-WB ET in a variety of settings against ET data from 119
flux towers across the U.S. Residuals between the remote sensing methods and the flux tower data were mapped spatially, and
these maps are included in the data release as well. The methods are fully described in the forthcoming article accepted for
publication in Remote Sensing as of November 2017; this dataset will be updated with its full citation when available. See
also the metadata file for additional information, or contact the authors with questions.; abstract: This dataset includes
