    • VegET v2.0 illustrative products and evaluation

    Metadata Updated: January 21, 2026

    The agro-hydrologic VegET (VegetationEvapotranspiration) model uses a water balance approach to simulate daily soil moisture (SM), actual evapotranspiration (ETa), and runoff (R). We enhanced the model to include snow accumulation and melt processes along with the separation of runoff into surface runoff and deep drainage and implemented the code using cloud technology. This publication is describing the updated methods and provides evaluation results for the United States and the Greater Horn of Africa.
