It mainly includes vegetation transpiration, soil water evaporation, and evaporation of intercepted precipitation or dew. As an important component of energy balance and water cycle, evapotranspiration not only affects plant growth and development and yield, but also affects atmospheric circulation, playing a role in regulating climate. This data is the evapotranspiration (ET) dataset of Gansu Province from 2000 to 2018, with a time resolution of 8 days, a data resolution of 1KM, and a data format of hdf.
