Spatiotemporal variation of actual evapotranspiration and its response to changes of major meteorological factors over China using multi-source data

Evapotranspiration (ET) is an important component of the water and energy cycle. To obtain more accurate actual ET estimation, three commonly used actual ET products (i.e., GLEAM, GLDAS, and SSEBop) are merged by the simple Taylor skill score fusion method. Validation results show that the merged ac...

Spatiotemporal variation of actual evapotranspiration and its response to changes of major meteorological factors over China using multi-source data
