Performance maps, weights, and associated data sets for Version 2.0 of the OpenET evapotranspiration models for the conterminous U.S.

August 11, 2025

This data release provides maps of estimated performance metrics for the remotely sensed evapotranspiration (ET) models within the OpenET ensemble, at the scale of the conterminous U.S. (CONUS). It also provides relative weight maps for each of the ensemble models that can be used to produce performance-weighted ensemble estimates. These maps are provided at a 4 kilometer spatial resolution. This data set was produced using performance mapping and weighting methods described in the associated journal article. This data release also includes associated data sets used in the production of these maps as well as data underlying the figures in the associated paper.
