Construction of a high-resolution remote-sensing evapotranspiration(ET) dataset is restricted by remote sensing data sources and clouds.Single remote sensor data cannot cover the land with high spatial and temporal resolution.In this paper
we analyzed the spatial characteristics of different scale ET data in ETWatch
compared several common fusion methods
and analyzed the data characteristics and information before and after data fusion.We integrated the spatial and temporal adaptive reflectance fusion model(STARFM) into ETWatch to fuse different scale remote sensing ET data.The results show that the STARFM fusion method effectively can integrate the spatial and temporal distribution information of high & low resolution data
with an average error of 1.75%
compared with input of 1 km daily ET
with a monthly average error of 0.2% compared with input of 1km month ET.The STARFM model is adaptive to fusing different scales of ET data.
