AET01 Konza prairie grass reference evapotranspiration

Summary

Short name: 

AET01

Abstract: 

Estimated evapotranspiration from a hypothetical short grass with a height of 0.12 m, a surface resistance of 70 s m-1, and an albedo of 0.23 (no water stress). Dataset contains daily total estimated evapotranspiration.
