Potential evapotranspiration estimates for northeast Brazil using GOES-8 data Estimativa de evapotranspiração potencial para o nordeste do Brazil utilizando dados do GOES-8

In this study, an empirical method proposed by Caselles et al. (1992a) is utilized to determine the potential evapotranspiration (ETP) on a regional scale. This method uses the global solar radiation data retrieved by the global radiation model GL1.0, which in turn utilizes data from the visible cha...
