This Cooperative Agreement, offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), aims to significantly advance the OpenET software system. Its core purpose is to enhance evapotranspiration (ET) data production, assessment, and overall data quality, ultimately achieving operational viability for critical water management applications. The selected CESU-affiliated partner will be responsible for applying specialized expertise in OpenET software system architecture and developing multi-sensor data fusion frameworks. This initiative is designed to support USGS water mission planning and benefit a wide range of external OpenET partners and data user communities. Key deliverables will focus on refining remote sensing ET estimates, which are vital for making informed water management decisions concerning both human consumption and natural ecosystem needs.
