USGS EROS has started producing monthly ET at 1 km spatial resolution since 2000 using the MODIS sensor data stream and the operational simplified surface energy balance (SSEBop) model. Monthly ETa products are being made available for USGS scientists for download from a Geo Portal. An overview of the model development, evaluation results and applications for drought monitoring and water balance studies will be presented.
