Vegetation ET surface energy balance model {ReSET} automation

Estimating water used by vegetated areas is important for water resources management and water rights. Surface energy balance models have been proven to be a robust approach for estimating vegetation ET. One of the main limitations for wider application of these models in water resources and irrigation management is the requirement of extensive background in surface energy modeling. This presentation shows the development of an ArcGIS toolbox that runs an automated version of the ReSET model.
