Riverside - Space and Earth Science Decision Support Systems - Brochure

Under a NASA Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science Grant, Riverside led an effort using remote sensing data to estimate actual evapotranspiration (ET) on a monthly and seasonal basis within two irrigated agricultural areas. Using the University of Idaho’s Mapping Evapotranspiration at high Resolution using Internalized Calibration (METRIC) algorithm, the Riverside team mapped crop ET in the South Platte River basin in Colorado and in the Middle Rio Grande River basin in New Mexico.
