A review of research works concerning remote sensing of land surface evapotranspiration and energy fluxes was presented

and problems and difficulties in this field were outlined. It is pointed out that parameters retrieved from remotely sensed data are crucial for accurate simulation of land surface energy fluxes. As to the model

a two-layer representation of canopy-soil system is a good choice both for theory precision and application convenience in the field of remote sensing. The methodology of linkage between remote sensing data and land surface model is to be innovated and more remotely sensed data to be integrated in future works.
