Actual evapotranspiration (AET) monthly rates from ET stations in central Florida and corresponding simplified surface energy balance operational AET rates

Description

Measured AET monthly rates in file AET_Monthly_Totals.csv were calculated at these ET monitoring stations in central and east-central Florida: Duda Farms, Blue Cypress, Reedy Lake, Orlando Urban, Disney Preserve, Lyonia Preserve. The monthly AET rates measured at these sites are compared side by side with the monthly AET rates calculated using the SSEBop method. The SSEBop AET rates were obtained from Gabriel Senay, one of the authors of Savoca and others, 2013, where the SSEBop methodology is explained. The measured AET monthly rates at the ET sites are presented as another way to assess the reliability of the SSEBop AET rates. The Florida ET network grid pixel numbers used for this comparison are: Duda Farms - pixel 106578, Blue Cypress - pixel 91413, Reedy Lake - pixel 92321, Orlando Urban - pixel 115088, Disney Preserve - pixel 100383, and Lyonia Preserve - pixel 123618. The AET rates under the SSEBop fields were used to validate the rates by comparing them to the measured AET rates at the ET stations.
