Introduction

“The Simple Algorithm for Evapotranspiration Retrieving” (SAFER) aims to model the $\frac{ET_a}{ET_0}$ ratio. This ratio is calculated according to:

$$\frac{ET_a}{ET_0} = exp \left[ a+b \left( \frac{T_0}{\alpha_0 NDVI} \right) \right]$$

Where α0 is the surface albedo, T0 is the surface temperature and NDVI is the normalized difference vegetation index.

The surface albedo (α0, dimensionless) is obtained from the reflectivity for each band (αpb). For Landsat images was necessary to obtain the planetary albedo (αpb) applying this equation for each band:

$$\alpha_{pb} = \frac{L_b \pi d^2}{R cos \phi}$$

Where Lb (W m−2 sr−1 μm−1) is the spectral radiance for the wavelenghts of the band (b from 1 to 7), d (m) is the relative earth-sun distance, R (W m−2 μm−1) is the mean solar irradiance at the top of the atmosphere for each band and ϕ the solar zenith angle.

The broadband αp is calculated as the total sum of the differenct reflectivities αpb values according to the weights for each band (wp):

αp = ∑wpαpb

The data of αp (dimensionless) is atmospherically corrected to obtain the value of surface albedo (α0):

α0 = c × αp + d

where c and d are regression coefficients which are specific for each satellite.

The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI, dimensionless) is calculated through the ratio of the difference between the planetary reflectivities of the near infrared (ρnir) and red (ρred) and their sum.

Surface Temperature (T0, K) is derived from the Stefan-Boltzmann Equation according to equation below:

$$ T_0 = \sqrt[4] \frac{ \epsilon_A \sigma T_A + a_L \tau_W }{ \epsilon_S \sigma } $$

Where ϵA and ϵS are the atmospheric and surface emissivities, σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, TA is the average air temperature, τW is the shortwave atmosphere transmissivity and aL is the regression coefficient.

Finally, actual evapotranspiration (ETa, mm day−1) was obtained according to:

$$ET_a = ET_0 \left( \frac{ET_a}{ET_0} \right)$$

For radiation balance assessment the following equation is used:

RN = H + LE + G

where G is the heat flux in the soil, RN is the net radiation, LE is the latent heat flux and H the sensible heat flux.

Net radiation (RN, W m−2 sr−1 μ m−1) was obtained by the Slob’s equation:

RN = (1 − α0)RG − αLτsw

Latent heat flux (LE, MJ day−1) was obtained by:

LE = ETa × 2.45

Heat flux in the soil (G, MJ day−1) was estimated through its realtionship with the net radiation:

G = RN(3.98 exp(−31.89α0))

Sensible heat flux (H, MJ day−1) was obtained as a residue of the energy balance:

H = RN − LE − G
