Global GIS : Global Climate Database : Actual evapotranspiration
Listed in Harvard Dataverse
This datalayer is a point shapefile that shows long-term (1931-1960) mean monthly values for actual evapotranspiration (AE) (in millimeters) on a global terrestrial grid at 0.5 degree longitude/latitude spatial resolution.
Description
The dataset is a derived portion of the Global Climate Database (May 15, 1996) which is an updated version of the IIASA database for mean monthly values of temperature, precipitation and cloudiness on a global terrestrial grid (1991), first produced by Rik Leemans and Wolfgang Cramer, and published by the International Institute of Applied Systems Analyses and also distributed by the National Institute of Public Health and Environmental Protection (Netherlands).
This version of the datalayer appears as part of the USGS Global GIS : global coverage database (2003). The evapotranspiration scheme used is developed by Prentice et al. Its reference is: Prentice, I.C., Sykes, M. Cramer, W., 1993. A simulation model for the transient effects of climate change on forest landscapes.

Ecological Modelling, 65: 51-70. The USGS Global GIS database contains a wealth of USGS and other public domain data, including global coverages of elevation, landcover, seismicity, and resources of minerals and energy at a nominal scale of 1:1 million. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and The American Geological Institute (AGI) announced a cooperative ag reement that will focus on making the USGS Global Geographic Information System (GIS) database readily available to educators and the general public in the form of a DVD based world atlas.
