This data set provides reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and actual evapotranspiration (ETa) rates calculated at 24 micrometeorological evapotranspiration flux (MEF) stations (mETa) in Florida for each month for which the station was in operation between 2000 to 2017 (Sepúlveda, 2021). The MEF station name, location, generalized land-use type, monthly and annual Operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop) ETa rates before and after bias corrections, monthly and annual reference ET rates (ETo) at each MEF station are also provided in addition to mETa rates. Ratios of monthly mETa to ETo rates were calculated for each generalized land-use type. Linear regressions of mETa minus SSEBop ETa rates, referred to as bias, as a function of SSEBop ETa rates were computed for each generalized land-use type and were used to bias correct SSEBop rates. Spreadsheet with monthly ETa rates, SSEBop rates before bias corrections, and SSEBop rates after bias corrections for each generalized land-use type are presented in this data set.
