SSEBop ETa rates were bias corrected using ETa rates computed from weather observations at 24 micrometeorological evapotranspiration flux (MEF) stations (mETa), stratified by land-use type. Uncorrected and bias-corrected SSEBop ETa rates were evaluated by comparison with independent estimates based on a crop-coefficient method for generalized land-use types (luETa) and a water-balance method for each basin (wbETa). This metadata file summarizes a GIS shapefile with basin characteristics for each of the 55 basins, along with average annual estimates of SSEBop ETa (uncorrected and bias-corrected), and differences (residuals) from average annual estimates based on luETa rates and wbETa rates for each basin.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P99AB3X4", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.60f9b3b8d34e3ccd82fe6ed9.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_60f9b3b8d34e3ccd82fe6ed9", "keyword": ["Change in basin storage", "Florida", "Florida, southern Alabama, southern Georgia", "USGS:60f9b3b8d34e3ccd82fe6ed9", "climatology, Meteorology, Atmosphere", "evaporation", "transpiration", "water balance", "water-balance method"], "modified": "2021-07-22T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-87.7905, 25.1325, -80.0415, 31.0", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "GIS shapefile: Actual evapotranspiration rates from 2000 to 2017 for basins in Florida and parts of Alabama and Georgia, calculated using the water-balance method, the bias-corrected Operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop) model, and the land-use crop coefficients model."}
