Evapotranspiration on Terrestrial Eastern Asia Estimated by Satellite Remote Sensing
Kenlo NishidaInstitute of Agricultural and Forest Engineering,
Evapotranspiration (ET) from land in the eastern Asia was estimated with satellite remote sensing. The algorithm is a simple two-source model consisting of ET from bare land and ET from vegetation. ET from vegetation was estimated by combination of Penman-Monteith equation and the complementary relationship (relationship between actual evaporation and potential evaporation of Penman and Proestley-Taylor). ET from bare land was estimated by VI-Ts diagram. By applying this method to NOAA/AVHRR and Terra/MODIS sensors, distribution of evaporation fraction was mapped in a regional scale.

MOD16 Evapotranspiration Project
- MOD16 is a project for operational estimation of terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) by a satellite sensor (Aqua/MODIS)
- MOD16 algorithm is applicable not only for Aqua/MODIS but also for Terra/MODIS, ADEOS2/GLI, and NOAA/AVHRR etc.
- Currently, the algorithm has been established. (Nishida et al., 2003)
- Tests have been done mainly on North America.
- In this study, we test MOD16 logic with NOAA/AVHRR data for Eastern Asia.

Conclusion
- MOD16 logic was tested in Eastern Asia, 1999, with NOAA/AVHRR composite.
- Validation with ground observation data from two sites showed consistent accuracy with North America.
- In combination of radiation and precipitation data, MOD16 EF product provides vertical water budget, which has implication on water resource monitoring.
