1.Overview of two models that we’re using for continental-scale ET retrievals, the “Surface Energy Budget System” (SEBS) based on Su (2002) and a Penman Montheith-based approach. 2.Quick-views of some surface radiation products over the U.S. (MODIS, CERES, ISCCP) 3.Some initial results 4.Some critical issues for Land Flux success. 5.Inferred ET (and surface budgets) from LSM, reanalysis and atmospheric satellite data Outine

Use the Surface Energy Balance Model (SEBS) to determine instantaneous daily ET predictions (limited by surface temperature). SEBS Model Description Components of the radiation balance are used to determine the net radiation (R n ) – SW , α, ε, T s, LW R n – G = H + LE Rn = (1- α) SW + ε LW - εσ The ground heat flux (G) is parameterized as a function of fractional cover – LAI/NDVI relationships, which needs to be improved

Critical Issues for LandFlux success 1.Scale – impact of coarse scale radiation, surface temperature, meteorology and properties. 2.Validation. Unconvinced that towers will do much for LandFlux. 3.Algorithm development/s, (multi-model merging of different retrievals?) Role of data assimilation? 4.Can we infer ET from other sources/models.
