Short summary
Evapotranspiration (ET) was measured and compared to reference ET over irrigated sugarcane in Hawaii, USA: reference ET increasingly diverged from measured ET with higher wind conditions; custom bulk canopy resistance improved reference ET observations; the Priestley-Taylor equation performed better than reference ET to estimate actual ET; bulk canopy resistance was over 150 s/m, but there was no evidence of water stress in the field.
