A 20-year High-Resolution Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Solar Insolation—Evapotranspiration Dataset for Water Resource Management
The USGS collects evapotranspiration data needed by Federal, State, and local agencies for planning and operating water-resources projects and regulatory programs. Over 20 years of reference evapotranspiration (RET) and potential evapotranspiration (PET) were computed for all five water management districts in the State of Florida. These maps represent potential daily atmospheric water use at 2-km resolution from June 1, 1995, to December 31, 2015. Incoming solar radiation (insolation) is a primary driver of ET in Florida.
