Uncertain Benefits of Using Remotely Sensed Evapotranspiration for Streamflow Estimation-Insights from a Randomized, Large-Sample Experiment

  • The relationship between model skills for streamflow and evapotranspiration is explored using a stochastic approach

  • The value of remotely sensed evapotranspiration for streamflow estimation varies with regions, satellite products, and performance indices

  • The probability of having good model skill for streamflow does not always increase with increasing model skill for evapotranspiration
