Abstract
⺠We evaluated 3 approaches to estimate evapotranspiration from MODIS vegetation data. ⺠Estimation via canopy conductance (Gc) predicted flux tower data best. ⺠Greenness-related indices produced better results than LAI or FPAR products. ⺠Among the best 3 indices, none was uniformly better across land cover types. ⺠Gc estimates are provided as look-up tables and global grids for use in models.
