Figures & data
Figure 1. Study area with the locations of the EC stations considered for our ET calculations. The color map shows the elevation distribution. We considered a region extending fully from north to south across the whole of Nepal so that the full extent of the possible elevation distribution would be included
Table 1. Paths, rows, and dates of satellite overpass of Landsat-8 for our study area. Two Landsat-8 tiles cover the whole study area that we considered. We considered six different days to capture possible seasonal variations in our analysis
Table 2. Locations of the EC flux tower site measurements of the two different stations
Table 3. METRIC-derived intermediate products for the months of March, April, May, June, October, and November 2016
