Summary
Annual actual evapotranspiration (ETa) rates in 55 basins in Florida and parts of Alabama and Georgia were evaluated for 2000–17 using the Operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop) model at about a one-square kilometer resolution (Sepúlveda, 2021). SSEBop ETa rates were bias corrected on the basis of ETa rates computed from weather observations at 24 micrometeorological evapotranspiration flux (MEF) stations, stratified by land-use type and referred to as mETa rates. Uncorrected and bias-corrected SSEBop ETa rates were evaluated by comparison with independent estimates based on a crop-coefficient method for generalized land-use types (luETa) and a water-balance method for each basin (wbETa). Average annual estimates of [...]

Uncorrected and bias-corrected SSEBop ETa rates were evaluated by comparison with independent estimates based on a crop-coefficient method for generalized land-use types (luETa) and a water-balance method for each basin (wbETa). Average annual estimates of SSEBop ETa (uncorrected and bias-corrected) and differences (residuals) from average annual estimates based on luETa rates and wbETa rates for each of the 55 basins are provided by each of the five Florida Water Management Districts and by the Tampa Bay Water regional utility.

Sepúlveda, N., 2021, Evaluation of actual evapotranspiration rates from the Operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop) model in Florida and parts of Alabama and Georgia: 2000–2017: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2021–5072, https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215072.
The purpose of this data release is to report basin delineations, average annual actual evapotranspiration (ETa) rates for 55 basins in Florida and parts of Alabama and Georgia calculated using the Operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop) model, and residuals computed as the difference between SSEBop rates and monthly ETa rates from 24 micrometeorological evapotranspiration flux (MEF) stations. ETa rates were also computed using a water-balance method (wbETa) and a crop coefficient method based on land-use type (luETa).
