Remote sensing techniques provide geophysical information at a large spatial scale and over a relatively long time series, and even make possible the retrieval of ET at high spatiotemporal resolutions. The present short study analyzed the daily ET maps generated with the S-SEBI model, adapted to Landsat-8 retrieved land surface temperatures and broadband albedos, at two different crop sites for two consecutive years (2017\u20132018). Maps of land surface temperatures were determined using Landsat-8 Collection 2 data, after applying the split-window (SW) algorithm proposed for the operational SW product, which will be implemented in the future Collection 3. Preliminary results showed a good agreement with ground reference data for the main surface energy balance fluxes Rn and LE, and for daily ET values, with RMSEs around 50 W\/m2 and 0.9 mm\/d, respectively, and high correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.72\u20130.91). The acceptable uncertainties observed when comparing with local ground data were reaffirmed after the regional (spatial resolution of 9 km) comparison with reanalysis data obtained from ERA5-Land model, showing a StDev of 0.9 mm\/d, RMSE = 1.1 mm\/d, MAE = 0.9 mm\/d, and MBE = \u22120.3 mm\/d. This short communication tries to show some preliminary findings in the framework of the ongoing Tool4Extreme research project, in which one of the main objectives is the understanding and characterization of the hydrological cycle in the Mediterranean region, since it is key to improve the management of water resources in the context of climate change effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14112723","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,7]],"date-time":"2022-06-07T00:10:33Z","timestamp":1654560633000},"page":"2723","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Evapotranspiration Retrieval Using S-SEBI Model with Landsat-8 Split-Window Land Surface Temperature Products over Two European Agricultural Crops"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7544-2872","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vicente","family":"Garcia-Santos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Physics and Thermodynamics, Faculty of Physics, University of Valencia, 46100 Valencia, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6630-7118","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raquel","family":"Nicl\u00f2s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Physics and Thermodynamics, Faculty of Physics, University of Valencia, 46100 Valencia, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1144-1381","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Enric","family":"Valor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Physics and Thermodynamics, Faculty of Physics, University of Valencia, 46100 Valencia, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"435","DOI":"10.1038\/nature11575","article-title":"Little change in global drought over the past 60 years","volume":"491","author":"Sheffield","year":"2012","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"503","DOI":"10.1023\/B:BOUN.0000030653.71031.96","article-title":"A Simple Parameterisation for Flux Footprint Predictions","volume":"112","author":"Kljun","year":"2004","journal-title":"Bound.-Layer Meteorol."},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3801","DOI":"10.3390\/s90503801","article-title":"A Review of Current Methodologies for Regional Evapotranspiration Estimation from Remotely Sensed Data","volume":"9","author":"Li","year":"2009","journal-title":"Sensors"},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"147","DOI":"10.1016\/S1464-1909(99)00128-8","article-title":"S-SEBI: A simple remote sensing algorithm to estimate the surface energy balance","volume":"25","author":"Roerink","year":"2000","journal-title":"Phys.
