This review surveys the basic theories, observational methods, satellite algorithms, and land
surface models for terrestrial evapotranspiration, E (or λE, ie, latent heat flux), including a …

Satellite and gridded meteorological data can be used to estimate evaporation (E) from land
surfaces using simple diagnostic models. Two satellite datasets indicate a positive trend …

Estimating interannual to decadal variability of terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) requires
use of standard meteorological data complemented with some high‐resolution satellite data …

Terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) cools the surface and moistens the atmosphere near the
Earth's surface. Variations in this important climate factor have major environmental and …

Estimating evapotranspiration (ET) at continental to global scales is central to understanding
the partitioning of energy and water at the earth's surface and the feedbacks with the …

Although global variation in actual evapotranspiration has been widely investigated, it
remains unclear how its two major components, transpiration and soil evaporation, are …

This paper outlines a new strategy to derive evaporation from satellite observations. The
approach uses a variety of satellite-sensor products to estimate daily evaporation at a global …

A simple and accurate method to estimate regional or global latent heat of
evapotranspiration (ET) from remote sensing data is essential. The authors proposed a …

Three process based models are used to estimate terrestrial heat fluxes and
evapotranspiration (ET) at the global scale: a single source energy budget model, a Penman …

With the advent of new satellite technology, the radiative energy exchanges between Sun,
Earth, and space may now be quantified accurately. Nevertheless, much less is known …
