      <abstract>Potential evapotranspiration (PET) and reference evapotranspiration (ETo) are estimated at an approximately 1-kilometer spatial grid and daily time-step from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 for Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and parts of Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee. PET and ETo were computed from solar radiation, meteorological data (min/max temperature, min/max relative humidity, and mean wind speed at 2-meter height), and shortwave blue-sky albedo data. Solar radiation was computed from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) sensor data, blue-sky albedo was computed from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) MCD43A1 BRDF/Albedo data product, and meteorological data were simulated using a high-resolution Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. Open-source tools for managing the NetCDF files in this data release can be found at https://code.usgs.gov/cfwsc/goes-et.</abstract>
      <purpose>In Florida, potential and reference evapotranspiration are required for many community planning activities such as water-use permitting and regulation, estimating agricultural-irrigation demands, scientific evaluations of ecosystem resiliency, and modeling surface water and groundwater systems to evaluate the sustainability of water supplies.</purpose>
      <supplinf>A supplementary zipfile, "validation.zip", is included in this data release which contains data files related to validation of the WRF output and the ETo and PET calculated therefrom. The zipfile is organized into subdirectories corresponding to parameters used to calculate evapotranspiration: actual vapor pressure ("ea"), saturation vapor pressure ("es"), potential evapotranspiration ("pet"), reference evapotranspiration ("ret"), daily maximum temperature ("tmax"), daily minimum temperature ("tmin"), and daily mean windspeed at 2-meters ("ws2m"). Although they were not used in calculations of ETo and PET, subdirectories corresponding to daily maximum relative humidity ("hmax") and daily minimum relative humidity ("hmin") were also included since these parameters are available as direct measurements at weather stations across the southeastern United States. Within the subdirectory for each of the parameters are (1) ascii files—one for each weather station—containing values measured at weather stations across the southeastern United States and the corresponding modelled values from the WRF model at the weather station location ("measured" values of ETo and PET are computed from measured parameter values at a given weather station) and (2) a portable document file (PDF) containing plots of the validation data. Also included is an ascii file, "validation_stations.csv", that lists weather stations used to validate WRF-based meteorological parameters as well as whether a given station was used to compute bias-corrections for ETo and PET. 
Atmospheric water vapor content in the WRF model is tracked by a state variable that represents the water vapor mixing ratio which is converted to actual vapor pressure (Ea) and saturation vapor pressure (Es) for use in computing ETo and PET. In order to validate the water vapor content of the model, Ea and Es were calculated from available measurements of relative humidity and temperature at weather stations using equations 11 and 17 of Allen (1998). The simulated water vapor mixing ratio was also converted to relative humidity as an additional check on modelled water vapor content to observed ground conditions. The file "validation_statistics.csv" contains statistics from the comparison between measured and modelled values at weather station locations.</supplinf>

Users are advised to read the dataset's metadata thoroughly to understand appropriate use and data limitations. Aside from reference and potential evapotranspiration, other variables were not bias-corrected and are no longer internally consistent with computed evapotranspiration. Solar insolation data come from the GOES satellite and represent the best-available, spatially-continuous dataset; however, meteorological data are from a numerical simulation and are not internally consistent with solar insolation.</useconst>
