SSEBop Evapotranspiration from Landsat, 2000-2020 CONUS Monthly Actual ET (ETa)

July 9, 2025

USGS Evapotranspiration estimates provide useful information for a range of land use applications, from calculating a basin’s water budget to assessment of water consumption for crop yield and drought monitoring. This USGS data release is a result of using the OpenET Google Earth Engine (GEE) implementation of the USGS EROS Operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop) Evapotranspiration (ET) model (Version 0.2.6) to create monthly actual ET at 30-m spatial resolution, driven by land surface temperature from the Landsat thermal band. The results are Landsat-based monthly products generated from satellite imagery with
