TLDR
In this article, an improved version of the global evapotranspiration (ET) algorithm based on MODIS and global meteorology data has been proposed, which simplifies the calculation of vegetation cover fraction, calculating ET as the sum of daytime and nighttime components, adding soil heat flux calculation, improving estimates of stomatal conductance, aerodynamic resistance and boundary layer resistance, separating dry canopy surface from the wet and dividing soil surface into saturated wet surface and moist surface.

Partitioning of evapotranspiration in remote sensing-based models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared three algorithms: the Penman-Monteith model from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (PM-MODIS), the Priestley-Taylor Jet Propulsion Laboratory model (PT-JPL), and the Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM).

Intercomparison and evaluation of three global high-resolution evapotranspiration products across China

TL;DR: In this article, three high-resolution large-scale evapotranspiration (ET) products were compared and evaluated across China; the evaluated ET products were the Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM) version 3.2, Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) version 2.4 and the Numerical Terradynamic Simulation Group (NTSG) dataset.

Impact of model structure and parameterization on Penman-Monteith type evaporation models

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of model structure and parameterization on the estimation of evaporation is investigated across a range of Penman-Monteith type models, including a traditional single-source Penman and Monteith model, a two-layer model based on Shuttleworth and Wallace (1985), and a three-source model based by Mu et al. (2011).

Overview of the radiometric and biophysical performance of the MODIS vegetation indices

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the performance and validity of the MODIS vegetation indices (VI), the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and enhanced vegetation index(EVI), produced at 1-km and 500-m resolutions and 16-day compositing periods.

On the Assessment of Surface Heat Flux and Evaporation Using Large-Scale Parameters

TL;DR: In this article, the large-scale parameterization of the surface fluxes of sensible and latent heat is properly expressed in terms of energetic considerations over land while formulas of the bulk aerodynamic type are most suitahle over the sea.

Summarizing multiple aspects of model performance in a single diagram

TL;DR: In this article, a diagram has been devised that can provide a concise statistical summary of how well patterns match each other in terms of their correlation, their root-mean-square difference, and the ratio of their variances.

Evaporation and environment.

TL;DR: Progress towards a reconciliation of parallel concepts in meteorology and physiology is described, which stresses the importance of physiological restraint on the rate of transpiration from an irrigated field surrounded by dry land.
