Reitz, M., Sanford, W.E., and Saxe, S.W., 2023, Historical Evapotranspiration for the Conterminous U.S.: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9EZ3VAS.

Summary

This data release provides rasters of actual evapotranspiration (ET) at the Conterminous U.S. (CONUS) scale from October 1895 to September 2018. Data are provided at the annual and monthly time scales at 800 meter spatial resolution. The dataset was produced using ensemble estimation methods described in the associated journal article. The data release also includes associated datasets developed in the production of these ET estimates, including monthly maps of groundwater and surface water irrigation from 1980-2018, as well as data underlying the figures in the associated paper.
