Summary

Potential evapotranspiration (PET), and reference evapotranspiration (ETo) are estimated on an approximately 2-kilometer (approximately 0.019 degrees longitude and 0.018 degrees latitude) spatial grid and at a daily time-scale from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 for the entire State of Florida. PET and ETo were computed on the basis of solar radiation, meteorological data (min/max temperature, min/max relative humidity, and mean wind speed at 2-meter height), and shortwave blue-sky albedo data for 2020. Solar radiation was computed from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) sensor data; blue-sky albedo was computed from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) MCD43A1 BRDF/Albedo data product; and [...]

Purpose

In Florida, potential and reference evapotranspiration are required for many community planning activities such as water-use permitting and regulation, estimating agricultural irrigation demands, scientific evaluations of ecosystem resiliency, and modeling surface water and groundwater. The purpose of this data set is to provide daily rates of ETo and PET for the State of Florida at a resolution (about 2 kilometer) suitable for local and regional studies.
