Evapotranspiration (ET) provides the link between the energy and water budgets at the land surface.
Developing a globally robust algorithm for the prediction of surface energy fluxes is a significant challenge
The purpose of this analysis is to evaluate the adaptability of varied techniques to different climatic conditions and land cover classifications
Also, what is the potential for using operational products in achieving routine prediction of evapotranspiration
Introduction
![Page 3: Globally distributed evapotranspiration using remote sensing and CEOP data](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070503/568155dc550346895dc3a63f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
MOD-16 Evapotranspiration Product Princeton University funded to research a MODIS based
ET product (July, 2004) Based primarily on the SEBS model, although other
approaches are being explored – (can one model work in all environments/all conditions)
Global product – but locally validated – hence need for thorough evaluation – CEOP sites!!!
Princeton is keen to partner with other groups to investigate the best means of forwarding the planned MODIS product – model intercomparison, field experiments etc…

Modeling Evapotranspiration
Use the Surface Energy Balance Model (SEBS)1 to determine daily/pentad/monthly ET predictions.
• Combining available land surface information, meteorological, surface temperature, vegetation,
radiation data
• Make use of available MODISproducts – supplement withother sources of data (LIS)
• Undertake comparisons with other approaches over varied environments…

Components of the radiation balance are used to determine the net radiation (Rn) – SW , α, ε, Ts, LW
SEBS Model Description
Rn – G = H + LE
Rn = (1- α) SW + ε LW - εσ 4sT
The ground heat flux (G) is parameterized as a function of fractional cover1 – LAI/NDVI relationships

SEBS Model Description
Wind, air temperature, humidity(aerodynamic roughness,
thermal dynamic roughness)
SEBS calculates H using similarity theory:
Various sub-modules for calculating needed components…

SEBS Model Description• CEOP observations used to assess estimates of evapotranspiration determined using different approaches.
• Forcing data from validation tower sites supplemented with MODIS data to produce estimates of surface fluxes.

Evaluating SEBS Model Results
• Issues of measurement accuracy, frequency, type…
• Intensive field experiments offer excellent detail, but are temporally limited
• Continuous measurements are usually spatially sparse…
What is the best/most efficient combination of these.
Global product – but locally validated
Predictions are only as good as the evaluation data!!!

Global Evaluation - CEOP Data Coordinated Enhanced Observation Period provides globally distributed data sets from which estimates of ET can be produced. Located over a variety of landscapes and hydro-climatologies they offer:
• Data to assess global scale application
• Allow comparison of different model output
• SEBS, modified Priestley-Taylor, modified Penman-Monteith# and GLDAS model output

SEBS with Operational DataSEBS with Operational Data
Run SEBS with:
1.CEOP data + MODIS
2.GLDAS + MODIS
3.GLDAS model output
for the EOP-1
Results are limited by lack of coincident sensor/observation data

SEBS with Operational DataSEBS with Operational Data
Mean values approximate reasonably well (within 20%), but instantaneous data are somewhat variable
Bondville (corn) indicates particular difficulty – issues of representative flux measurement, site characteristics, capturing vegetation dynamics with RS data
Berms – considering it is forested – illustrates pleasing results

Scale Issues in ET Modeling
How does our ability to predict ET relate to the scale of the observations??
What is the role of surface heterogeneity?
How do different model forcings scale – surface temp, vegetation, meteorology?
Is there a relationship with other hydrological variables – or do the time scales of the process reduce their influence?
How do you get information between satellite overpasses
