Validity of Five Satellite-Based Latent Heat Flux Algorithms for Semi-arid Ecosystems

Validity of Five Satellite-Based Latent Heat Flux Algorithms for Semi-arid Ecosystems

Accurate estimation of latent heat flux (LE) is critical in characterizing semiarid ecosystems. Many LE algorithms have been developed during the past few decades. However, the algorithms have not been directly compared, particularly over global semiarid ecosystems. In this paper, we evaluated the p...
