Construction of an evapotranspiration model and analysis of spatiotemporal variation in Xilin River Basin, China.

Surface evapotranspiration is a water exchange process between the atmosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere. Accurate evapotranspiration estimations in arid and semi-arid regions are important for monitoring droughts and protecting the ecological environment. The main objective of this study is to bui...
