This module offers an overview of actual evapotranspiration (ETa), exploring its calculation, modeling approach, products, characteristics, and considerations.
After completing this module, you will be able to:
- Describe how ETa is calculated
- Describe the characteristics of actual evapotranspiration (ETa) and the primary ETa products
- Explain the Simplified Surface Energy Balance operational modeling approach for ETa
- Evaluate the strengths, limitations, and important considerations when using ETa
