Actual evapotranspiration and interception (Kairouan, Tunisia - Monthly) - WaPOR v2

The actual EvapoTranspiration and Interception (ETIa) is the sum of the soil evaporation (E), canopy transpiration (T), and evaporation from rainfall intercepted by leaves (I). The value of each pixel represents the ETIa in a given month.

Supplemental Information:

No data value: -9999

Unit: mm

Conversion factor: the pixel value in the downloaded data must be multiplied by 0.1

New dekadal data layers are released approximately 5 days after the end of a dekad. A higher quality version of the same data layer is uploaded after 6 dekads have passed. This final version of the dekadal dataset has a higher quality because gap filling and interpolation processes, where needed, have been based on more data observations. This implies that other temporal aggregations (monthly, seasonal, annual), and layers that depend on those, are updated as well. Practically this means that a final annual aggregation of the most recent full calendar year can only be produced after the end of February. Likewise, the final monthly aggregation of the most recent calendar months can only be produced 2 full months later.

Data lineage:

See ETIa by dekad for further information. The monthly total is obtained by taking the ETIa in mm/day, multiplying by the number of days in a dekad, and summing the dekads of each month.
