- Abstract
This study presents the comparison of two different approaches for quantifying the spatiotemporal distribution of the evapotranspiration at the regional scale: the simulations by a regional climate model (ICTP-RegCM3), versus the estimations by a remote sensing based surface energy balance model (SEBS). The comparison was carried out in the semi-arid Konya basin. Our results show that while performing similarly in representing the seasonal dynamics, there was considerable difference of average daily ET estimates between the two models, and this difference varied spatially in the region. The difference between the ET outputs can be mainly attributed to the factors including differences in model structures, input parameters and spatial resolutions.
