Short summary
Quantifying crop water use at each field every day is challenging because of the complexity of the evapotranspiration (ET) process and the unavailability of data at high spatiotemporal resolutions. We fuse multi-satellite data and employ a sophisticated model to estimate ET at 30 m resolution and a daily interval. With validation against 86 site years of ground truth in the US Corn Belt, we are confident that our ET estimation is accurate and a reliable tool for water resource management.
