GLEAM estimates terrestrial evaporation using satellite data.

About

GLEAM, or the Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model, is a set of algorithms designed to estimate terrestrial evaporation from satellite observations. It provides data on various components of land evaporation, including transpiration and bare-soil evaporation, as well as related variables such as soil moisture and heat flux. The model utilizes the Penman equation and incorporates multiple environmental factors to enhance the accuracy of evaporation estimates, making it useful for researchers and organizations focused on climate and environmental monitoring.
