Daily reference and potential evapotranspiration, and supporting meteorological data from the North American Regional Reanalysis, solar insolation data from the GOES satellite, and blue-sky albedo data from the MODIS satellite, Florida, 2019 (ver. 1.1, April 2021)

Metadata Updated: January 21, 2026

Potential evapotranspiration (PET), and reference evapotranspiration (ETo) are estimated at an approximately 2-kilometer (approximately 0.019 degrees longitude and 0.018 degrees latitude) spatial grid and daily time-scale from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 for the entire State of Florida. PET and ETo were computed on the basis of solar radiation, meteorological data (minimum/maximum temperature, minimum/maximum relative humidity, and mean wind speed at 2-meter height), and shortwave blue-sky albedo data for 2019. Solar radiation was computed from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) sensor data, blue-sky albedo was computed from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) MCD43A1 BRDF/Albedo data product, and meteorological data were obtained from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR).
