The coordinate system is GCSWGS_1984. The product adopts the Land Surface Energy Balance Algorithm (SEBAL) and multi-source remote sensing data generation, including MOD43A1 surface albedo, MOD11A1 surface temperature, and MOD13 vegetation index (from NASA: https://ladsweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/search/ )The meteorological data comes from GMAO( https://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/research/highlights/2013-2015.php )The input variables are aggregated and resampled to 1 km × 1km. EBAL ET can be used for multiple Earth science studies, particularly in global change, water resource management, and agricultural drought monitoring
