Abstract :
Evaporative Fraction is an intermediary step to assess evapotranspiration and is also a primary component in many water balance models. The paper uses the Land surface temperature and albedo to assess the space-time variability of EF. By analyzing, the results show the precise inversion of EF characteristics in Arid/Semi-arid regions and suggest scientifically available.
