CAA, CST, and ESEC Towers: funded by National Observatory of Water and Carbon Dynamics in the Caatinga Biome (INCT-NOWCDCB), Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), FACEPE (Fundação de Amparo à Ciência e Tecnologia do Estado de Pernambuco) through the Project Caatinga-FLUX APQ 0062-1.07/15. Metadata of ‘Are remote sensing evapotranspiration models reliable across South American ecoregions?’ This document describes the file formatting and data used to run and evaluate the evapotranspiration models in this study. Because forcing data varies among models, each input file contains a different set of meteorological data placed within a folder named after the corresponding model. File format and time stamps Data files are CSV formatted with timestamps in the first column of the file. The following timestamps are used: GLEAM: Year (YYYY); Day of Year (DDD) PT-JPL: Year (YYYY); Month (MM); Day (DD) PM-MOD: Year (YYYY); Month (MM); Day (DD) PM-VI: Date (MM/DD/YYYY) Missing data Missing data are reported using ‘NaN’ as a replacement flag. Data for all days in a leap year are reported. Data format The column headers Name, Description and Units are adopted used in the data files to describe the following variables:: ETo, Penman-Monteith FAO-56 reference evapotranspiration (mm day-1); ETobs, Observed evapotranspiration (mm day-1); Rn, Surface Net Radiation (w m-2); Rg, Daylight shortwave Incoming Radiation (w m-2); Rgs_out, Shortwave Radiation - outgoing (w m-2); G, Soil heat flux (w m-2); P, Rainfall (mm day-1); T, Surface Air Temperature (ºC); Tmax, Maximum Temperature (ºC); Tmin, Minimum Temperature (ºC); Tday, Daytime Temperature (ºC); TminDay, Daytime Minimum Temperature (ºC); TminNight, Nighttime Minimum Temperature (ºC); Patm, Atmospheric Air Pressure (Pa); ea, Actual Vapor Pressure (kPa); es, Saturation Vapor Pressure (kPa); VPD, Vapor Pressure Deficit (kPa); eaDay, Daytime Actual Vapor Pressure (kPa); eaNight, Nighttime Actual Vapor Pressure (kPa); RH, Air Relative Humidity; RHDayTime, Daytime Air Relative Humidity; RHNightTime, Nighttime Air Relative Humidity; LAI, Leaf Area Index (m² m-²); SWC, Soil Water Content (mm m-1). Forcing data per model Each model requires a different set of forcing data, as follows: GLEAM: Rn, P, T, Rgs_out; PT-JPL: Tmax, Rn, RH (or ea); PM-MOD: Rg, Tday, TminDay, TminNight, RHDayTime, RHNighttime, eaDay, eaNight; PM-VI: ETo.
