Shephard 20250620 publication Monthly mean evapotranspiration data from OpenET were spatially averaged within the region of interest and exported using Google Earth Engine. et_results.csv contains monthly mean evapotranspiration data from 2022 to 2023, calculated using various OpenET models and the model ensemble. getET_single_poly_20250331.txt contains the JavaScript code used to average and compile the ET results, and BdA_ET_shape_wgs84.zip is a shapefile representation of the area of interest. These data were collected to calculate monthly evapotranspiration at the 30 meter grid scale within the managed wetlands at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. These data can be used to compare the relative magnitudes of the water budget inflows and outflows to isolate sources of water budget uncertainty at the refuge scale. 20220101 20231231 ground condition Complete None planned -106.92518 -106.84799 33.87013 33.72526 ISO 19115 Topic Category climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere environment inlandWaters boundaries elevation USGS Thesaurus watershed management water use water resources water resource management water supply and demand water budget groundwater and surface-water interaction groundwater flow freshwater ecosystems groundwater evaporation transpiration water level water elevation wetland ecosystems Marine Realms Information Bank (MRIB) keywords evapotranspiration riparian control of groundwater resources water resources wetlands USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:68251acdd4be0236b06b0098 Common geographic areas New Mexico Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge Rio Grande aquifer system National Wildlife Refuge FWS No access constraints.

Previous studies have assessed the models in various land use types, with a focus on agricultural settings, but this was beyond the scope of this study. An intercomparison of model results was done to assess the expected ranges and uncertainties associated with the ensemble models and the unique model outputs. Data are within expected ranges of evapotranspiration for this area in mm/month. Individual models have Pearson correlations greater than 0.86, indicating reasonable model agreement. Geospatial information is a generalized representation of the irrigated area, but it has not been verified or surveyed in the field. Data are representative of the irrigated and managed units within the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. The area of interest did not include uplands or riparian forests to the east of the Low Flow Conveyance Channel and in the cottonwood forest located closer to the Rio Grande. Monthly evapotranspiration data were spatially averaged over the polygon saved as BdA_ET_shape_wgs84.zip. Data from six OpenET models, including the ensemble mean, were compiled using Google Earth Engine to create a monthly time series of evapotranspiration in mm/month for the calendar years 2022 to 2023. 20250226 USGS - ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION Stephanie A Roussel Hydrologist mailing and physical
