Estimation and partitioning of actual daily evapotranspiration at an intensive olive grove using the STSEB model based on remote sensing

Additionally, the STSEB algorithm was tested for partitioning evapotranspiration into its evaporation and transpiration components. Evaporation estimated from the STSEB model was compared with evaporation estimated from a model adjusted from local lysimeter measurements. Transpiration data obtained from calibrated sap flow measurements were, after local calibration, also compared to model estimates. Model results agreed with the measured data, showing) under- and overestimation for transpiration and evaporation, respectively.
