February 5, 2019
The U.S. Geological Survey Florida Evapotranspiration Network is a collection of historical and current evapotranspiration monitoring sites representing various locations/landscapes/environmental settings in Florida. The USGS collects the evapotranspiration data needed by Federal, State, and local agencies for science-based water resources planning and management. Micro-meteorological methods – eddy covariance and Bowen ratio energy budget – are commonly used by the USGS and the scientific community to monitor evapotranspiration.
The following list includes publications and data releases per evapotranspiration monitoring sites. Links to all publications are also beneath Data and Publications tabs.
