It is an important component of water and heat regulation, and has an impact on plant productivity and water resource management. As a water-shortage region, the Mongolian Plateau is characterized by drought and an uneven distribution of rainwater resources. Understanding the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of ET on the Mongolian Plateau is important for water resource regulation for climate change adaption and regional sustainable development. This study calculated the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of the actual ET in the Mongolian Plateau based on the SFE-NP model and generated a surface ET dataset with a spatial resolution of 1 km and monthly temporal resolution from 2001 to 2020. Theil-Sen median and Mann\u2013Kendall trend models were used to analyze the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of the actual ET over the Mongolian Plateau. This dataset has been validated for accuracy against the commonly used authoritative ET datasets ERA5_Land and MOD16A2, demonstrating high precision and accuracy. This dataset can provide data support for research and applications such as surface water resource allocation and drought detection in the Mongolian Plateau.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data11010020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,13]],"date-time":"2026-01-13T15:52:57Z","timestamp":1768319577000},"page":"20","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Actual Evapotranspiration Dataset of Mongolia Plateau from 2001 to 2020 Based on SFE-NP Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Yuhui","family":"Su","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information System, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"},{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Geomatics, Shandong University of Technology, Zibo 255000, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5641-0813","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juanle","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information System, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Center for Collaborative Innovation in Geographical Information Resource Development and Application, Nanjing 210023, China"}]},{"given":"Baomin","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Geomatics, Shandong University of Technology, Zibo 255000, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"55","DOI":"10.1016\/j.agrformet.2017.04.011","article-title":"Improving global terrestrial evapotranspiration estimation using support vector machine by integrating three process-based algorithms","volume":"242","author":"Yao","year":"2017","journal-title":"Agric.
