Monthly OpenET Image Collections (v2.0) Summarized by 12-Digit Hydrologic Unit Codes, 2008-2023

This dataset provides monthly summaries of evapotranspiration (ET) data from OpenET v2.0 image collections for the period 2008-2023 for all National Watershed Boundary Dataset subwatersheds (12-digit hydrologic unit codes [HUC12s]) in the US that overlap the spatial extent of OpenET datasets. For each HUC12, this dataset contains spatial aggregation statistics (minimum, mean, median, and maximum) for each of the ET variables from each of the publicly available image collections from OpenET for the six available models (DisALEXI, eeMETRIC, geeSEBAL, PT-JPL, SIMS, SSEBop) and the Ensemble image collection, which is a pixel-wise ensemble of all 6 individual models after filtering and removal of outliers according to the median absolute deviation approach (Melton and others, 2022). Data are available in this data release in two different formats: comma-separated values (CSV) and parquet, a high-performance format that is optimized for storage and processing of columnar data. CSV files containing data for each 4-digit HUC are grouped by 2-digit HUCs for easier access of regional data, and the single parquet file provides convenient access to the entire dataset. For each of the ET models (DisALEXI, eeMETRIC, geeSEBAL, PT-JPL, SIMS, SSEBop), variables in the model-specific CSV data files include: -huc12: The 12-digit hydrologic unit code -ET: Actual evapotranspiration (in millimeters) over the HUC12 area in the month calculated as the sum of daily ET interpolated between Landsat overpasses -statistic: Max, mean, median, or min. Statistic used in the spatial aggregation within each HUC12. For example, maximum ET is the maximum monthly pixel ET value occurring within the HUC12 boundary after summing daily ET in the month -year: 4-digit year -month: 2-digit month -count: Number of Landsat overpasses included in the ET calculation in the month -et_coverage_pct: Integer percentage of the HUC12 with ET data, which can be used to determine how representative the ET statistic is of the entire HUC12 -count_coverage_pct: Integer percentage of the HUC12 with count data, which can be different than the et_coverage_pct value because the “count” band in the source image collection extends beyond the “et” band in the eastern portion of the image collection extent For the Ensemble data, these additional variables are included in the CSV files: -et_mad: Ensemble ET value, computed as the mean of the ensemble after filtering outliers using the median absolute deviation (MAD) -et_mad_count: The number of models used to compute the ensemble ET value after filtering for outliers using the MAD -et_mad_max: The maximum value in the ensemble range, after filtering for outliers using the MAD -et_mad_min: The minimum value in the ensemble range, after filtering for outliers using the MAD -et_sam: A simple arithmetic mean (across the 6 models) of actual ET average without outlier removal Below are the locations of each OpenET image collection used in this summary: DisALEXI: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/OpenET_DISALEXI_CONUS_GRIDMET_MONTHLY_v2_0 eeMETRIC: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/OpenET_EEMETRIC_CONUS_GRIDMET_MONTHLY_v2_0 geeSEBAL: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/OpenET_GEESEBAL_CONUS_GRIDMET_MONTHLY_v2_0 PT-JPL: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/OpenET_PTJPL_CONUS_GRIDMET_MONTHLY_v2_0 SIMS: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/OpenET_SIMS_CONUS_GRIDMET_MONTHLY_v2_0 SSEBop: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/OpenET_SSEBOP_CONUS_GRIDMET_MONTHLY_v2_0 Ensemble: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/OpenET_ENSEMBLE_CONUS_GRIDMET_MONTHLY_v2_0
