Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments
The primary goal of this product is to provide a long-term global estimates of evapotranspiration (thus latent heat) fluxes, using the best available surface radiation and meteorological data sets at the same spatial and temporal scales. Model validations against ground flux tower measurements have only been carried out over limited locations (Vinukollu et al., 2011). The product covers all the global land areas except for Antarctica.

SRB/GEWEX evapotranspiration (Penman-Monteith) L4 3 hour 0.5 degree x 0.5 degree V1 is a global, 24-year (1984-2007), satellite-derived evapotranspiration over land data set. It is based on the Penman-Monteith model. Evapotranspiration provides the critical link between the water and energy cycles within the Earth system. Better representation of the spatial distribution and temporal development of surface evapotranspiration is needed not only to improve the description of water vapor exchanges for global water budget estimation but also to advance our understanding of the climate system.
Input data sets include (1) vegetation index data, i.e., Leaf Area Index (LAI), derived from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensors onboard the NOAA-7, NOAA-9, NOAA-11, NOAA-14, and NOAA-16 satellites and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard the EOS-Terra and EOS-Aqua satellites; (2) meteorology data from the latest version of the Princeton University global forcing data sets and from the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) land surface model output; and (3) radiative data from the NASA Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) Surface Radiation Budget Project.
