MODIS ET (MOD16)
MOD16A2GF Terra Net Evapotranspiration Gap-Filled 8-Day. 500 m evapotranspiration and latent heat every 8 days.
Actual evapotranspiration, potential evapotranspiration and latent heat flux from a Penman-Monteith model driven by MODIS land products and reanalysis weather. The gap-filled version removes cloud-contaminated periods at the end of each year. Barren land, water and urban areas have no values.
